00:00:04 In these two years, we have accomplished
00:00:11 many things that are not popular.
00:00:17 Did we ever say in the
Hungarian Democratic Forum
00:00:22 that popular tasks would follow?
Why, for the sake of the country,
00:00:30 we are willing to sacrifice our
own political party. I hope
00:00:38 that this will not be necessary,
but when we put it this way
00:00:43 we have just said that we will not sacrifice
the country for party interests,
00:00:48 if necessary, rather vice versa. Therefore,
00:00:52 we have chosen the only possible path,
which means transformation.
00:01:02 We've said it many times,
but it may not hurt
00:01:08 to have a difficult inheritance.
We do not doubt that after
00:01:14 the retortion period in Hungary after 1963,
00:01:20 the conditions continued to improve
nd that there were reform
00:01:27 experiments in 1968.
Consequently, the political
00:01:32 and economic situation in Hungary
has improved more significantly
than in the neighbouring countries.
00:01:39 But, please, to what do we owe this? To 1956.
Let's not be so grateful
00:01:49 to the past system upholders
00:01:54 so as to think
00:02:00 they figured it out on their own.
00:02:08 In 1956, when János Kádár was taken to
Moscow with Ferenc Munnich,
00:02:14 Mátyás Rákosi was put there for him -
who did not say a word there in Moscow
00:02:23 but when the demands were made
they always showed him Rákosi.
00:02:29 Malenkov, Khrushchev and the others
knew how to handle it.
00:02:34 And when that happened and when
Kádár took on this role
00:02:40 it certainly wasn't an easy role
but he did have a routine.
00:02:47 Then please, they've always had 1956 in mind.
00:02:56 That's what they said in Moscow.
It was argued that they could not
00:03:02 carry out those claims.
The Hungarian government had a separate sobbing man
00:03:10 in the person of Antal Apró who said in Moscow
that we could not pay any more.
00:03:16 He claimed that otherwise
it would be '56 all over again.
00:03:23 And it went on this way and we assured ourselves
that military spending was smaller than elsewhere
00:03:29 because the army and the police,
together with the Minister of Interior Boross,
00:03:36 had never exceeded
the strength of the Soviet army present
00:03:42 and that it was the revolution and freedom
struggle of 1956 that taught the Russians,
00:03:48 taught the Soviet Union,
the Communists that Hungary
00:03:53 should be treated differently.
