Earlier today, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán addressed a crowd in Sátoraljaújhely, a town in north-east Hungary, for the unveiling of a new memorial in commemoration of the Trianon centennial.
Hungary’s geographical borders were changed in 1920 but “nobody can deprive us of the right to maintain the nation’s spiritual boundaries,” President János Áder said yesterday.
During National Cohesion Day, Árpád János Potápi said the almost 100 years that have passed since the signing of the Trianon peace treaty is proof of the strong will of Hungarians to survive and keep their country alive.
On June 4th every year, Hungarians mark the day of the signing of the Trianon Treaty in 1920, which stripped Hungary of two thirds of its territory and turned 3.3 million Hungarians into ethnic minorities living in foreign countries
