Opening of the exhibition "Székelys – Patterns of Heritage " at the Museum of Ethnography
In the third part of Áron Tamási's rightly popular novel, upon arriving at the port, Ábel, who is travelling to America, must report his affiliation. He admits that he is indeed Székely. When asked, “What kind of nation is the Székely?” he replies, “Hungarian, but even better.”
I cordially welcome the management, experts and staff of the Museum of Ethnography, the members of the museums in Hungary and Szeklerland, the museologists and historians, the outstanding experts whose quality work has contributed to this unique exhibition, and all the guests of today's opening ceremony!

"I didn't feel the horrible, bone-chilling cold of the water; I just had the goal in front of me, which I wanted to achieve with all my physical and mental strength. I didn't even notice that the rope anchored in the water was chafing my chest and that the ever-louder noise of the spectators was a sign that we had swum to the finish.
In the din, words could be made out, shouting 'Zito i Ungheria!' and our flag was hoisted majestically on the highest mast of the race judges' boat.
