March 15 – Opposition Együtt calls for joint efforts to protect freedom

Budapest, March 15 (MTI) – The deputy leader of the opposition Együtt party called for joint efforts to protect freedom and stand up against a “narrow and evil circle” at the party’s commemoration of the 1848-49 revolution and freedom fight on Wednesday.

Speaking by the statue of revolutionary poet Sándor Petőfi on Budapest’s central March 15 Square, Balázs Berkecz said the revolution was a brave decision by a brave people, which opposed everything that the world order and the arrogant power-holders of the time considered as acceptable.

The brave heroes of the 1848 revolution have taught us that freedom cannot be ours free of charge, without having to fight for it, he said.

Today, “a narrow and evil circle has taken away our freedom and put our future in danger with its uncontrolled greed, demoralising our country to the level of dictatorships”, Berkecz said. “We have to fight this mafia state that tramples on truth day by day,” he added.
