But Viktor Orbán is here! – this was the Fidesz march on October 23.

Fidesz supporters marched from the Technical University to Bem Square, where speeches were given by prominent figures. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was absent, attending an event in Paris. Last year's commemoration featured Orbán speaking at Kossuth Square alongside various celebrities. This year, the event took a different turn with the National Flag March organized by Ákos Szilágyi, who is known for his pro-Orbán attire. Participants followed the same route as the previous day's memorial march, raising questions about the overlap and their plans for the state celebration.
