He took part in the revolution in 1956 and later worked as a lawyer. Throughout his life, he had the small farmer and civil movements close to his heart, and was always a decisive figure in his political communities. His knowledge and life experience are an irreplaceable loss for our representative group. Béla Turi-Kovács was 87 years old. God bless you, our brother Béla!
