The country is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the '56 revolution, and this will be very different from any time before.

Hungary commemorates the 70th anniversary of the 1956 revolution with significant events, including speeches by various political figures. The celebration features a flag-raising ceremony attended by President Baka András and Speaker Forsthoffer Ágnes, while opposition parties boycott the parliamentary session. Former Prime Minister Orbán Viktor does not deliver a speech this year, with Áder János and others taking the stage instead. The Mi Hazánk Movement holds its own remembrance in Corvin köz. EU leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, are present at the events. Prime Minister Magyar Péter announces plans for a dedicated memorial for the revolution's heroes.
