Three speeches on the occasion of the centenary of national trauma. Parliamentary speeches by the Hungarian President János Áder, the President of the National Assembly Laszló Köver and the solemn speech of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on the Day of N

Summary/Abstract: 4 June 1920 was written in the memory of the Hungarian nation as the day of national trauma. On that day, the powers that won the First World War imposed humiliating conditions of peace on the defeated Hungarians. The area of the Kingdom of Hungary was cut from 325.000 km2 up to 92.000 km2 while the population was reduced from 21 million to 8 million. A huge part of the Hungarian diaspora was located in neighbouring countries: in Czechoslovakia, Romania and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (since 1929, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia). Despite three attempts at revision made in 1938–1940 (the first and second Vienna arbitration and changes in Transcarpathian Ruthenia), the shape of the state and demographic profile imposed on Trianon remained unchanged. On the 100th anniversary of this event, the votes of the most important people in the Hungarian state could not be missing. The aim of the article is to present the speeches expressed in the Parliament by the President of Hungary and the President of the National Assembly, and to supplement it with the declaration of the Prime Minister. All three statements eloquently show that the specter of Trianon remains present in contemporary politics.
