Ideal of Modern Hungary Born on March 15, Says Opposition Party LMP

The ideal of a modern Hungary was born on March 15, 1848, embracing equality, unquestioned individual freedoms and the primacy of the rule of law, the co-leaders of the opposition LMP party said in a statement on Tuesday.

Referring to an invasion of Russian soldiers in June 1849, Erzsébet Schmuck and Máté Kanász-Nagy said that Hungary may have lost its war of independence, but the Hungarian national identity was born “definitively and irrevocably”.

“The message of our heroes is timeless … They dreamed of a sovereign Hungary with its own destiny,” the statement said.

Referring to the upcoming general election the statement added: “On April 3, we will decide whether we want to belong to the free world, as our 1848 heroes wanted, or continue to rub against the bloodthirsty aggressive dictator of Russia.”
