The Hungarians in the crowd did not allow the protesters to ruin the unveiling, instead they started to loudly sing a Hungarian folk song and the national anthem of Hungary, thus, drowning out the voice of the few protesters.

‘The hymn serves as a reminder that, despite the magnitude and quantity of our crimes, the Good Lord did not erase us from existence and that, as a result, we have earned the right to a future.’

Hungary’s national anthem, the Hymn was written 200 years ago by Ferenc Kölcsey.

Edina Pottyondy celebrated the New Year by uploading a parody of the National Anthem to her YouTube channel.
