Speech by Dr. Tamás Sulyok, President of Hungary, at the Waldlager Memorial Centre in Mühldorf am Inn
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I greet you today at a place of profound sorrow. This land bears witness to unimaginable suffering. Here, the human dignity of my fellow citizens was utterly disregarded. With deep sorrow in my heart, I remember the thousands of Hungarian Jews, and all those fellow human beings, who fell victim to the inhuman Nazi dictatorship in this region.

Dear Fellow Hungarians, in the Carpathian Basin and across the world!
I warmly greet you on the second day of the Christmas celebrations.
Many of us have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of these days when everything around us slows down and becomes quiet. When, even in our fast-paced world full of tensions and the horrors of war, at last, it is peace, home, and family that take the spotlight, and the moment arrives to celebrate the birth of the Saviour who came into our world over two thousand years ago.
