Gábor Török: It is meaningless to preach national unity when politicians cannot even stay in the same airspace during the most important moments of the nation.

Political scientist Gábor Török reflects on the absence of unity among Hungarian political leaders during national commemorations, recalling a similar situation 36 years ago. He notes that while parties will hold separate events for the 70th anniversary of the revolution, this division undermines the idea of national unity. Török emphasizes that the ongoing pattern of separation among political factions continues, with each party organizing its own celebrations. The Fidesz party will hold an event at Bem József Square, while the state ceremony will take place at Kossuth Square, featuring speeches from Ursula von der Leyen and Prime Minister Péter Magyar. Török argues that this lack of collaboration reflects a deeper issue within Hungarian politics.
