Summary/Abstract: This article is about the life and activity of Hungarian politician Vilmos Vázsonyi, and contains excerpts from his speech in Cluj-Napoca/Kolozsvár in 1927. Vázsonyi was elected for a parliamentarian of Terézváros (Budapest) in 1901. Vázsonyi’s political career was not usual: he connected the Hungarian national and the Hungarian Jewish minority’s welfare. In his thinking liberalism, different religions and origins were not against each other, these rather were supporting each other in spiritual and emotional formations.
