Hungary's parliamentary parties each had their own take on 1956

“For many years they lied to us, claiming that the national holiday belonged to only one political side, but that’s over now,” Péter Magyar said in his address on October 23, as he greeted “the now truly independent Hungary.” Meanwhile, Viktor Orbán was photographed in Paris, so Fidesz celebrated without him. According to the former governing party, in a free country, those in authority do not threaten anyone with arrest, and there are no political prisoners—thus, the coming years will be fraught with struggle and immense hardship.
