Hungary commemorates the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Revolution, a national uprising against Soviet dominance. The revolution began with student protests on October 23, 1956, demanding reforms, freedom of the press, democratic elections, and independence from Moscow. It ended with a brutal crackdown by the Red Army, leaving thousands dead and around 200,000 exiled. Key figures like Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa attended official ceremonies, while Hungarian PM Péter Márki-Zay addressed the nation from Kossuth Square. The revolution's legacy continues to influence Hungarian politics, with current PM Márki-Zay criticizing Viktor Orbán's alignment with Moscow.
