"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in commemoration of the revolution and war of independence of 1848–49, Hungarians all over the world celebrated their national holiday on 15 March. Our poet of world renown, Sándor Petőfi, gave his life for freedom in 1849. On 20 March, the anniversary of his death, we commemorated another great figure of the war of independence, Governor Lajos Kossuth, father of Hungarian parliamentary democracy, who spent half of his life in foreign exile. It is a symbolic testimony to our people’s love of freedom that our two national radio stations bear the very names of Lajos Kossuth and Sándor Petőfi. In one of his outstanding poems, our freedom-fighter and poet honours the memory of those heroes “Who died for you, sacred world freedom!” It was this revolutionary spirit of world freedom that infused young Hungarians back in that day, and it is this spirit in which a freedom-loving Europe is standing up for revolutionary Arab youths and for all peoples of the world who are fighting for freedom."@en1
