The St. István Institute has sent a letter to the mayor of Budapest calling for the fastest possible restoration of the Holy Crown decorations that were vandalised a year ago on Margaret Bridge, the institute said on Wednesday.
In the letter sent to Gergely Karacsony, the institute said it was appalled to see “just ahead of celebrations of our Holy King, the founder of our state … that the leadership of Budapest has still not been unable to restore the most important national symbols decorating one of the busiest bridges of Budapest frequented by foreign tourists.”
They said damage last year to the Holy Crown decorations, which carried “historic messages carved in stone”, had caused “public outrage”.
The institute has launched an online public petition in cooperation with CitizenGo Magyarország which can be signed on that partner organisation’s website.
