"This is an important day, a day of moral satisfaction for all the victims of totalitarian regimes. My father, Štefan Kányai, spent nine and a half years in a Russian gulag. In his book he describes the crushing reality accompanying the cruelty of Stalinism, which is something we must remember! I thank you on his behalf.
I also thank you on behalf of Bishop Ján Vojtaššák, Monsignor Viktor Trstenský, Štefan Putanko, Štefan Janík and thousands of other brave sons of the Slovak nation who were victims of communism.
The Slovak priest František Dlugoš writes the following in one of his books: ‘To investigate the events that took place during the 40 years of the communist regime, to find out people’s destinies, means revealing the soul of the nation.’ Following today’s debate, I can add ‘the soul of Europe’.
I welcome this debate because examining this unique period in time, and the events that took place during this period, can be very beneficial for us now and in the future."@en1
