Rudolf Ungváry: Strangely, the desires of 1956 were fulfilled on April 12, but people do not see this.

The speaker expresses discomfort with frequent questions about the 1956 revolution, viewing it as a dead memory often exploited for various purposes. They emphasize that while 1956 was a formative experience, its political use is meaningless and false. The speaker prefers discussing the topic in writing for more thoughtful expression. They dislike the politicization of commemorations, particularly the speeches that fail to address the essence of 1956. They argue that after seventy years, it is challenging to keep the memory alive, noting that the emotional connection to the events has faded. They assert that 1956 was not a leftist revolution but rather a rightist one against communism.
