"Today we remember events that occurred 50 years ago, those of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the people’s revolution, which shook the communist system that had been thought to be rock solid. What were the Hungarian people fighting for? For freedom and independence. We Hungarians living beyond the borders of Hungary were also following the heroic struggle against the overwhelming Soviet power with concern and keen attention. The defeat of the Revolution was followed by dark, cruel years and harsh reprisals. Particularly in Transylvania, but in Slovakia as well, those who openly sympathised with the Revolution were subjected to severe retribution. It is with deep reverence that we recall the victims, the heroic freedom fighters, whose struggle was not in vain. 34 years later, the inhuman system fell, and today we belong to a European Community which is based on democracy, the rule of law and human and civil rights. It was for these values that the participants fought and the heroic dead gave their lives during the 1956 Revolution."@en1
