NÉMETH ADDRESSES HUNGARIAN AMERICAN COALITION GALA EVENT IN WASHINGTON

 

Addressing a gala event organised by the Hungarian American Coalition (HAC) in Washington, DC, Zsolt Németh, the head of parliament’s foreign affairs committee, underlined the importance of cross-border national unity. In his speech, Németh lauded Hungary’s 1989-1990 regime change, emphasising the United States’ role in the country’s transition to democracy. He said the US and NATO again had key roles to play in preserving security and stability in central Europe. Speaking to MTI after the gala dinner, Németh said Hungary’s change of regime had been a fulfilment of the hopes of the generation of Hungarians who had emigrated to the US after Hungary’s failed anti-Soviet uprising of 1956.
