As every year, awards were presented on the occasion of St. Stephen's Day, the holiday of the founding of our state.

Bence Rétvári, the parliamentary secretary of the Ministry of the Interior, emphasized that

they recognize the work of those who have gone above and beyond to serve the community.

It is thanks to such people that Hungarians are still the leading nation of the Carpathian Basin 1,100 years after the conquest, he added.

The politician recalled: the Golden Bull had already ordered that the nobility and servants should gather to celebrate on King St. Stephen's Day in Székesfehérvár, and then Mária Terézia ordered the transport of St. Jobb to Buda and the procession.
