It is gratifying that Hungarians can remember the 1956 Uprising “Szabadságharc” without being brutalized by the Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang.
We will not let these criminals climb on our back. Never again,
Magyarország a Magyaroké!
Saint Pope John Paul 11 – to Hungary – Hero Square – August 1991 :
Messaged – US – in words of Wisdom :
“Be mindful of the Blessing that Freedom that you have Definitively Secured – means to Your FUTURE.
Cherish it – and make GOOD use of your LIBERTY.”

Never – shall we Surrender – our Liberty,Freedom and Soveregnty – in HONOUR of Them.
This must be REMEMBERED – when we vote at the National Elections – May 2022, to further Honour them and ALL who have Fallen for such a cause – in Hungary.
