“Fifteen years ago, we made it possible to reunite Hungarians across borders,” said President Tamás Sulyok on Thursday in parliament during the Hungarian citizenship oath ceremony.
He recalled that one of the first acts of the National Assembly, formed in 2010, was to restore rights to those who had long been entitled to them but were deprived due to Hungary’s turbulent history.
“Whenever one of our compatriots who had emigrated or been separated from us takes the citizenship oath, it is a celebration for the entire nation,” emphasized the President of the Republic at the 15th anniversary event.
Today’s celebration also marks the historic moment when it became possible to obtain Hungarian citizenship through a simplified procedure—thanks to which more than one million Hungarians were legally reunited with the homeland,”
he added.
“We have always known that whatever fate may bring, we Hungarians cannot be divided, because we are one,” Sulk stated, adding that “wherever we live, across borders or around the world, we belong together. Fifteen years ago, the national unity that had always been self-evident to us finally took legal form.”
The reunification of the nation under public law, the free, independent, and democratic Hungary that emerged from the communist dictatorship, was the most influential and important act ever, President Tamás Sulyok pointed out, adding that it was moral compensation for the Hungarian soul, redress for the difficult fate of the Hungarian people, and a source of pride for the entire nation.
“The greatest misfortune that can befall a community is when its members are separated from each other,” he said, adding that a strong community finds its way back to each other, while a weak one does not dare to take a step towards the other. “For a long time we have appeared weak, but this is now over,” he emphasized, adding that it is now beyond question that Hungarians who have been separated or displaced are part of the nation in the public law sense.
