Ader: 'Eternal Hungary' must be enriched in times of trial

"Difficult months lie ahead of us, but whatever trials await us, we must enrich, build and serve eternal Hungary," President Janos Ader said at a swearing-in ceremony of officers marking the August 20 national holiday in front of the parliament building on Thursday. Ader stressed that this August 20 holiday is different from those before as "we are filled with concern and uncertainty". "A holiday such as this, stripped of its usual adornments can make us aware of how eternal Hungary, established by St. Stephen, was built and -- in spite of difficulties -- continues to be built today, too," Ader said.
