We will not forget the great intellectual efforts he made to regain Hungarian freedom and preserve Hungarian culture, they wrote. Fidesz shares the family's pain.

The Hungarian Prime Minister also said goodbye to Ágnes Hankiss, who died at the age of seventy-one.

"We say goodbye to our old comrade. God be with you, Ági!"
