lpv:translated text	"Ladies and gentlemen, 50 years ago this evening the students and intellectuals of Budapest presented 16 demands to the Hungarian puppet government. The demands were rejected, the authorities opened fire on the crowd and the uprising began. The Hungarians were encouraged by their faith in assistance from the West. European unity appeared natural to them. The expected assistance did not come, however, not even in the form of official declarations. The Suez Crisis that was unfolding at the same time somewhat limited the West’s ability to act, but the real reason for this reserve was the division of Europe into spheres of influence at Yalta. 13 000 people were repressed by the Soviets, 350 of whom were executed. Hungary became a cautionary case for other nations that thirsted for freedom. The Soviet Union no longer exists, but the spirit of Yalta lives on in our fear of standing up in defence of Moldova, Georgia and other countries that Russia considers to be part of its sphere of influence. In memory of the victims of the Hungarian uprising, I propose that we overcome our fear and take a united stand in defence of democracy and freedom."@en1
