The Operative Board, which was in charge of ensuring that the festivities ran safely, made the decision to postpone the fireworks show in Hungary on August 20 as a result of the National Meteorological Service’s incorrect prognosis.

An announcement was made yesterday that the fireworks will be postponed as a precautionary measure. A responsible decision from a responsible government. This was not always so – in the year 2006, the government did not cancel the fireworks, which resulted in the death of five people.
