CÖF-CÖKA on March 15: Not even Tusk can destroy the 1,000-year-old Hungarian-Polish friendship

On the 176th anniversary of the revolution and freedom struggle of 1848-49, the sympathizers, activists and spiritual defenders of the Civil Solidarity Forum-Civil Közhaznú Alapítvány also remembered the Hungarian and Polish heroes who sacrificed their blood and lives for Hungarian freedom and independence.

CÖF sympathizers came to the National Museum from various parts of the country, including Miskolc, Zalaegerszeg, Szeged, at the invitation of the NGO, and after watching the festive program together and listening to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's festive speech, following tradition, they marched to Bem Square, where they laid a wreath statue of a heroic Polish general.

In the opening speech of the event, László Csizmadia, the founding president of CÖF-CÖKA , quoted Viktor Orbán's idea that the first Peace March was organized by those revolutionaries who walked from Pest to Buda. Our independence and sovereignty were at stake then and still are today. He also mentioned that, due to different opinions on the Russian-Ukrainian war, the delegates of the Gazeta Polska clubs have been painfully absent from our joint celebration for some time, but we were able to welcome some of our Polish brothers among us. This also proves that

the friendship and 1000-year-old brotherhood of the two peoples cannot be torn apart by a fratricidal war in our neighborhood, nor by the scheming of the liberal government led by Donald Tusk. He expressed his hope that the PIS will regain the trust of the majority of Polish voters and can lead Poland back to the path it has taken together, supporting each other.

CÖF-CÖKA spokesperson Zoltán Lomnici Jr. drew the audience's attention to, among other things, the importance of the April 1848 laws.

"The April laws and their consequences were key to the modernization of Hungary, the evolution of the legal system and the promotion of social transformations, and their impact is significant over decades and even centuries. The real message is that we will not give up on 48. We do not want to give up our national sovereignty, the Hungarian people's right to self-determination and the country's independence, so that the most important and fundamental issues are decided in the Hungarian and not the Belgian capital."

Poland's message from the message of the Hungarian intellectual patriot, writer, poet and translator Konrad Sutarski

"Ryszard Kapuscinski, the head of the Gazeta Polska Clubs, informed me over the phone that the Gazeta Clubs - although they warmly welcome those gathered at the Bem statue - cannot come this year for the following reasons:

Huge black clouds fell over Poland. Although the right-wing conservative PIS party won the parliamentary elections, they were defeated by the liberal-left coalition led by the new prime minister, Donald Tusk, which brought about fundamental changes in the political balance of power in my old country.

The new government's violent attempts to effectively take over power: changes among media workers, the judiciary, public offices, foreign services, moving away from the Catholic religion - all these show that Poland is currently moving unstoppably away from democracy Applause from the liberal bureaucrats of the European Union next to. At the same time, the government, and primarily Prime Minister Tusk, is moving away from the pragmatic line that the previous conservative Polish government represented together with the Hungarian government in relation to the European Commission, protecting its sovereignty and ethnic, cultural and economic unity.

The elections to the European Parliament are also approaching. These make it impossible for our Polish friends to come to Hungary due to intensified political fights.

Regardless of all this - in return for their well wishes sent to us -

we wish our Polish friends to return as soon as possible to the former friendly visits in the midst of Poland's return to democracy, the end of the Ukrainian war and the victory of national forces across Europe.

Long live Polish-Hungarian friendship!"

The celebratory crowd then marched to the Katyn Martyrs' Park in Óbuda, where Norbert Heizler, the national coordinator of CÖF-CÖKA, gave a celebratory speech at the commemorative plaque on the wall of the Árpád high school. Among other things, he talked about the martyrdom of thousands of Polish patriots massacred by the Soviets in the spring of 1940, also recalling the tragic event that befell Lech Kaczynski and the Polish generals on the 70th anniversary of the Katyn tragedy.

The national coordinator also spoke about how our common Europe today is not what we dreamed of. We must do so that it can be like that again.

"Unification of civilians has never been as important as it is today. The bureaucracy in Brussels is openly working against the population, just look at the farmers' protests, demonstrations, and riots that have been going on for weeks and months all over Europe. Europe is not the good place it was even a decade ago.

The poor people of Sehonna keep the population, the European aborigines, in terror. Brussels protects these aggressors, while it refuses to deal with the issue of indigenous European minorities, even if 200 thousand or two million signatures are collected. The task of our patriotic civil community is to reclaim our continent that has seen better days. Let's fight for it with the tools of peace! This year, our planet will have a chance to change, perhaps never to return.

Let's even think about the presidential elections of the United States, and let's not only think, but also act responsibly in the European Parliament elections and municipal elections!

Let's hold hands with each other and our Polish brothers and together strengthen Christian Europe!"

The ceremony ended with the laying of a wreath on the memorial plaque of the Katyn victims.
