Zsolt Nyitrai emphasized, “In this way, state events can be accessed both physically and in terms of information connections.” He added that this would also be the case on August 20, St. Stephen’s Day.
The Deputy Prime Minister put it this way: “Let’s celebrate together. Without a hitch, together. Happy birthday, Hungary!”
In the video, Zoltan Kovacs, Head of the Executive Group responsible for organizing the holiday, State Secretary in charge of Communications and International Relations, spoke about the beginning of the St. Stephen’s Day series of events.
“We stand here at the southern end of Parliament in a symbolic place. It is one of the best locations to watch the air show or the fireworks,” said the foreign minister.
He added, “We are here today to draw attention to the fact that we not only allow the hundreds of thousands of Hungarian and foreign tourists who visit here to have a safe and undisturbed visit to events, but we also thought about the disabled, as in previous years.”
“Here, on this site, at the foot of Andrássy’s statue, we will create a place for them to enjoy fireworks and other programmes,” said Zoltán Kovács.
Para-athlete and boccia competitor Vivian Nagy, bronze medalist at the European Championships, said she was pleased that, as an injured person, she also had the opportunity to watch the August 20 fireworks without hindrance.
“Come celebrate together!” Encourage everyone.
According to the information posted at the end of the short film, you can get off at Kossuth Lajos tér station to get to the place for people with disabilities. The place for people in wheelchairs and their companions who come to the state ceremony is located on Kossuth Square, between the statue of Andrássy and the Parliament building. Three special toilets for people with special needs will be located on the corner of Garibaldi Street and Akadémia Street.
