Hungary’s national flag was hoisted in front of the Parliament building on Tuesday, in a state commemoration marking the 62nd anniversary of the anti-Soviet uprising which started on October 23, 1956.
The ceremony was attended by President János Áder, House Speaker László Kövér, members of government, military and civilian officials and diplomats.
A series of commemorations and programmes will be held across the country during the day to pay tribute to heroes of the failed revolution and freedom fight, with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán giving a speech at the House of Terror Museum at 3pm.
