My Respected Compatriots!

Please accept my best regards on this, the day of Hungarian freedom. This is the day on which the whole world hears the voice of Hungarian freedom. This voice says that freedom belongs to those who are brave enough to achieve  it. We Hungarians have achieved it. The Hungarian peoples have struggled much over the past centuries for this to be possible today.

During recent years, we have launched our nation on the path of cross-border unification. It is in this way that we become more and we become stronger. We must use this strength just a bravely and decisively, just as cleverly and ingeniously as our forefathers did. The sense of reuniting the nation is precisely that everyone who professes to be Hungarian may take part in the construction of the Hungarian nation and of Hungary. Those who live beyond our borders may take part in the reinforcement of Hungary, and a strong homeland can do more for them there, where they live.

It has been a long time since we have been so close to realising the goals of the Hungarian peoples and to expanding Hungarian freedom both within and beyond our borders. It has been a long time since we have been so unified. Let us make use of the opportunity we have created together. Let us be worthy descendants of the heroes of the 1848 revolution.

To this end, on the day of Hungarian freedom, I wish every Hungarian strength, faith and courage!
