Speaker unveiled statue of Transylvanian Hungarian author
Speaker of Parliament László Kövér on Friday attended the unveiling ceremony of the statue of Kossuth Prize-winning ethnic Hungarian author Áron Tamási (1897-1966) in Budapest on Friday.
In his address at the ceremony, Kövér said Tamasi’s works had their “gold backing in reality, faithfulness to the nation, and the character and responsibility of the man of letters”. His works have “infused an effervescent power of Szekler life to Hungarian literature”. Tamasi’s statue has been erected in Budapest’s 12th district where he moved to in 1944 and died on this day in 1966.
