It is more than symbolic that we gathered on Easter Sunday, the day of resurrection, to celebrate the renewal of a historical site – stated Philip Rákay at the Citadel handover. – Our most famous architects never saw mere stones and bricks before their eyes, but they painted dreams on the walls – he said.
To be a nation-builder is not just physical construction, but a community-forming endeavor that builds a homeland.
Something always happens on the fault line.
At the beginning of his speech, Viktor Orbán wished everyone a beautiful Easter and resurrection.
– We can leave behind everything that is evil, just as the Citadel has been renewed – said the Prime Minister. He stated that it has never happened that something was built here by Hungarians. Others have always built here – he said.
Today is the bastion of Hungarian freedom.
The Prime Minister emphasized that they say the Gellért Hill lies on the boundary of two tectonic mountains. Between two worlds. Hungary also lies on a civilizational border.
Something always happens on the fault line, empires come and go, but we always remain. Hundreds of thousands of Hungarians died on the battlefields. The Gellért Hill is a million years old. It has lived the last 1,800 years with us, the Hungarians. We are the mountain. The Gellért Hill, Hungary. It is worth the effort to climb to the roof. From here you get the best view, from here you get the best picture of the entire Carpathian Basin
– framed the Prime Minister. He framed it that from the heights, a good view of the future opens. However, what we see now does not make us happy. Dark clouds have approached our country from the west: bankruptcy of Brussels. We saw a migration crisis, an energy crisis, but separately, and we defended them in turn.
Now soon multiple crises will strike Hungary at once. If there is no energy, the economy stops. Not only the accustomed order of Hungarian lives, but our plans are also at risk. That is why it is a sky-high crime what the Ukrainans are doing against Hungary
– said the Prime Minister.
Since the outbreak of the Iran war, the price of natural gas has risen by seventy percent, and the price of oil has risen by sixty percent. One thing matters, that there is energy. You must stay out of the war
– emphasized the Prime Minister.
Four years ago we created a broad national pact against the war; this alliance must now be renewed, and indeed widened – reported Viktor Orbán.
The restored Citadel, the renewed outlook of the nation, the reclaimed high-altitude watchtower position helps the Hungarians to be able to see and understand the clouds gathering on the horizon and to make the decision necessary to avert the dangers, a common and good decision for the next Sunday
– pointed out.
