If there was no occupation and treason in 1956, then today we could be in the same place as our Austrian neighbors - declared the Minister of Construction and Investment Makón on Saturday.

János Lázár said at the commemoration organized by the Makó municipality on the occasion of the anniversary of the 1956 revolution and freedom struggle, if the revolution won't be victorious for just a few days or a week in the fall of 1956, if the Russians don't march in again, if the Americans don't betray Europe again, and Budapest is chosen instead of Suez, if János Kádár had not betrayed Hungary, our history could have been similar to that of Austria.

The politician, who also holds the post of regional parliament representative, explained that the Russians withdrew from Austria in 1955 and made it possible for the Austrians to develop freely.

Occupation and treason have their significance in every age. After 1944 and 1956, we still live in a world where a neighboring country is invaded. Century after century, decade after decade, they want to conquer the great powers of the world, sometimes financially, economically, sometimes physically, and they want to subjugate the smaller ones, the minister said.

Remembering 1956, every Hungarian person - regardless of party affiliation - has the duty to reject all kinds of occupation both near and far

- emphasized János Lázár.

He said that the most important thing for us Hungarians is the country's independence and self-determination, to be able to freely decide what to do with our lives and in what direction to steer the destiny of our country. However, this requires politicians and public figures who consider the matter of national sovereignty to be the most important

he added.

If János Kádár had not betrayed Hungary in 1956, the world would have been different,

they don't execute hundreds, they don't throw tens of thousands into prisons, and they don't force hundreds of thousands of our compatriots to leave the country, said the politician.
János Lázár stated, therefore, it is very important that everyone understands who are those who serve the cause of the homeland, and who are ready and able to sacrifice it, either for orders from the East or the West, or with American money.

He emphasized

"we have to get rid of those politicians who betray the cause of the country". There is no difference between the treason of János Kádár and the treason of the opposition, which operates with billions of US dollars. Treason is treason in 1956 and in 2022

- He told.

Szeged-Csanád Bishop László Kiss-Rigó who said a prayer for the heroes of 1956 At the same time, we also have reason to celebrate, because although the victims of 1956 were apparently defeated, they are really the winners: our freedom and independence today is also due to them, said the bishop.
