Péter Magyar: More than forty foreign delegations are arriving in Budapest for the 1956 anniversary
More than forty foreign delegations are expected in Budapest for the 70th anniversary of the 1956 revolution, as announced by Prime Minister Péter Magyar. He emphasized that the anniversary will be celebrated by a free and democratic Hungary. However, specific names of attending leaders were not disclosed. Due to the arrival of foreign dignitaries, traffic restrictions around Budapest Airport have been announced. The Fidesz party criticized Magyar's claims about the number of attendees, suggesting he exaggerated. While some leaders like Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa will attend, others, including Emmanuel Macron, will not. The event will feature a speech by Magyar at Kossuth Square, while Fidesz will hold its own commemoration nearby.
