Zalaegerszeg has been an extremely important city for the country for 775 years, and all Hungarians can rightly be proud of its achievements, the minister who heads the Prime Minister's Office said at the festive assembly of the county seat on Friday.
Gergely Gulyás called what happened in Zalaegerszeg after the regime change and in the last decade exemplary. "We succeeded in renovating the St. Rafael County Hospital, creating a suitable environment for healing; the continuous and quite impressive development of the northern industrial park, more recently the construction of the ZalaZone vehicle industry test track and the tank factory," he listed the results.
The politician said that all this makes the city a remarkable center on the economic map not only of Hungary, but of the whole of Europe.
"We can say that Zalaegerszeg is a rapidly developing city in terms of its economy, cultural, sports and community life," he summed up, noting that every country is like its settlements: when the settlements grow, the country also gets stronger.
Mayor Zoltán Balaicz (Fidesz-KDNP) said in his celebratory speech that Zalaegerszeg celebrates the city day every year on May 13 because it became a city with an organized council in 1885. At the festive assembly held on this occasion, the settlement's biggest awards were also presented. In addition to the posthumous inauguration of Mátyás Czobor as an honorary citizen, Zoltán Szalai, the chief physician of the Zala County Szent Rafael Hospital, the founder of the Szidónia Prize, and Tibor Szalontai, who is also the chief physician of the county hospital, received the Pro Urbe award.
