Statement by Secretary Antony J. Blinken on Hungary’s National Day

Read the statement by US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken sent to us on Hungary’s 20 August National Day.

“On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the people of Hungary as you celebrate Saint Stephen’s Day, commemorating more than a millennium of your nation’s rich history.

Twenty-five years ago, Hungary was admitted to the most successful defensive alliance in the history of the world. Hungary was welcomed into NATO because of its commitment to a democratic future. That commitment, like the deep bonds between our people, should be protected and form the bedrock of Hungary-United States relations.

On this day of celebration, it is my hope that we can work towards a closer relationship between the United States and Hungary, rooted in democratic values, shared security, and prosperity. That is what the deep friendship between our peoples, and the rich history between our nations, deserves.”

  1. LISTEN – the principal “message” from A.J.B. – Hungary, your FUTURE is as a DEMOCRACY.
    There is a WARNING in the message, the MOVE away – the DISSERTATION of DEMOCRACY by the Orban led – Fidesz Government of Hungary, the “widening” of our relationship with the United States of America, and the NEED of Hungary again, to re-join the Family of the European Union and N.A.T.O – for Hungary’s – it’s FUTURE.
    This is NOT achievable for Hungary, and the United States of America know this FACT, that under the Prime Ministership of Victor Mihaly. Orban, his Fidesz Government the entire name Fidesz – the “Formed” partnerships and relationships under Orbans approval, with Russia and China.
    The DEBT of Hungary – to China and Russia – the on-going collapse of the Economic and Financial position of Hungary, a “return” to totally practice the Laws of DEMOCRACY to be Members of the European Union and N.A.T.O. – OBILVIATED by Victor Mihaly. Orban and his Fidesz Government.
    The “Suttle” warning by Antony J. Blinken – sooner than later, it will be REMINDED to Orban and his Fidesz Party – by the United States of America – we have GIVEN you countless WARNINGS.

  2. Never believe or trust anything a democrat says – especially when they refer to their own country (the US – a REPUBLIC) as a democracy!

  3. The statement was totally disingenuous. Boilerplate pablum from an increasingly irrelevant administration of a country in terminal decline. Push up, Blinky.

    As for the “democracy” commenter: We DO have democracy now. Democracy doesn’t mean only your preferred candidate winning. Duh!

  4. Steiner Michael, your “Claimed” statement of living in 42 cities in your LIFE.
    What’s your LEGACY ?
    Have you left a trail of destruction, not been GOOD for the places, the people, the “environments” of the 42 places you claimed to have dwelled, you have lived, in the “journeyman” pattern of your life, you, and your “claimed” Wife, of Hungarian birth ?
    Steiner Michael, you just EXHUME’s unearths – in your commentary’s, that your life has been of FAILURE – an un-successful life, that is destined to leave No Legacy.

  5. HONSZERETET

    Szeresd hazádat és ne mondd:
    A néma szeretet
    Szűz mint a lélek, melynek a
    Nyelv még nem véthetett.

    Tégy érte mindent: éltedet,
    Ha kell, csekélybe vedd;
    De a hazát könnyelmüen
    Kockára ki ne tedd.

    S nem csak dicsőké a haza;
    A munkás pór, szegény,
    Bár észrevétlen, dolgozik
    A hon derűletén.

    Tűrj érte mindent ami bánt,
    Kínt, szégyent és halált;
    De el ne szenvedd, el ne tűrd
    Véred gyalázatát.

    S ne csak veszélyben légy serény,
    A béke vészesebb,
    S melyet vág álmos népeken,
    Gyógyíthatlanb a seb.

    Gondold meg, mennyit érsz: eszed,
    Szived, pénzed, karod,
    S fukar légy, alkván a honért,
    Ha azt feláldozod.

    S midőn a legtöbb emberek
    Csüggednek várni jót
    Családjok – , társaik – s magokért,
    Ha sorsok csalfa volt;

    Midőn nem méltatott erény
    És bűn, mely célt nem ér,
    Kifárad újra küzdeni
    A vágyott javakért;

    Midőn a legbuzgóbb anya
    Remény – s munkátalan,
    S a veszni indult gyermekért
    Csak sóhajtása van;

    Te még, oh honfi, ébren állj,
    Remélni, tenni hő,
    Míg a honból, kin lelked függ,
    Van egy darabka kő.

    S midőn setét lesz a világ
    És minden tűz kiég,
    A honfiszívben fennmarad
    Egy élő szikra még.

    S hol honfi húnyt, e szikra ég
    Fenn a sírhalmokon,
    Bal századoknak éjin át
    E lángban él a hon.

    S kihűlt hamvából a dicső
    Göröghon újra kél,
    Felhozza régi hőseit
    E szikra fényinél.

    E szikra a hon napja lesz,
    S hol fénye hőn ragyog,
    Az élet a hon kebelén
    Ujúlva feldobog.

    És újra felvirúl a föld,
    Amerre a szem néz,
    És minden, aki rajta él,
    Munkára tettre kész.

    S a nemzet isten képe lesz,
    Nemes, nagy és dicső,
    Hatalma, üdve és neve
    Az éggel mérkező.

    Oh honfi, őrizd e tüzet
    S ne félj, ha vész borúl:
    E szikra fényt ad és hevet
    S ég olthatatlanúl.

    ❤️
