István Simicskó recalled the parallels between Polish and Hungarian history. He reminded the participants that the two nations have always stood by each other, so we could rely on each other in tragedies and successes. We have always been able to gain strength for the great challenges from this close friendship, knowing that our Polish brothers are on our side, the Parliamentary State Secretary pointed out.
“We have to draw the attention of today’s generations to these values. I hope we can share in the successes in the future, just like we share in the sorrow of today’s commemoration", said István Simicskó in closing his speech.
After the Parliamentary State Secretary’s speech, Tamás Hoffmann, the mayor of the district and the representatives of the Polish Embassy in Budapest and the Polish minority local governments of Hungary bowed heads to the victims’ memory, then laid flowers by the memorial tree after a joint prayer.
