Today there is no real republic in Hungary, but “we will never give up on proclaiming a new free Hungarian republic,” István Hiller, vice president of the European Parliament Parliament, said Saturday at the statue of former President Árpád Göncz in Budapest. The first Parliament after the regime change was formed 30 years ago.

He recalled that 30 years ago, on this day, the new Parliament elected Árpád Göncz as Speaker of the House and at the same time Acting President, and then President of the Republic on August 3. Árpád Göncz held the post for two terms, ten years, and was not only the republic, but “the people, we were all presidents.”

Socialist MP Agnes Kunhalmi said in the commemoration that the opposition did not participate in the parliamentary ceremony on Saturday because they said the government had established an authoritarian regime, denying democratic dialogue and a political economy of change. According to Kunhalmi

The political declaration adopted on the restoration of the popular representation system in 1990 in the absence of the opposition factions in the ceremonial session of the “truncated” parliament is a falsification of history.

According to the opposition politician, it must be understood that many people were disappointed by the regime change, but “we must not give up”: each nation, society must fight again and again for democracy, the rule of law, freedom of press, prosperity, workers’ rights; There are generations that have repeated.
