EP President Metsola: EP won’t abandon those who stand for democracy
The legacy of the heroes of Hungary’s 1956 uprising is a reminder that the push for liberty and democracy must be constant and that the European Parliament “will never abandon” those who stand for it, EP President Roberta Metsola said in Strasbourg on Wednesday.
“We remember the brave men and women who stood up for democracy, who gave their lives for freedom,” Metsola said in a speech prior to the agenda in a plenary session, marking the 68th anniversary of the 1956 revolution and freedom fight.
“We pay homage to their extraordinary courage and to the memory of those who fell victim to Soviet oppression. 68 years later we remember the heroes of 1956, we honour them,” she said. “Let their legacy remind us that the push for liberty and democracy must be constant and that this Parliament will never leave those who stand for it alone,” Metsola added.
