Zsolt Szabó, the region's Fidesz member of parliament, emphasized at the event:

Roads and music connect us, and the music section that has just been handed over is a common heartbeat for the entire nation, 15 million Hungarians.

Before 2010, for 8-10 years, highway 21, outstanding in terms of the region, did not receive the attention it deserved from the government. However, in the last 14 years, this important transport corridor connecting the Highlands with the motherland has been put on the map again, which enabled these areas to join the economic circulation of our country and Central Eastern Europe.

- said Zsolt Becsó.
