70th Anniversary of 1956 Revolution Marked as Von der Leyen Addresses Parliament

Hungary marked 70 years since the 1956 uprising. PM Péter Magyar attended a flag-raising on Kossuth Square and laid flowers at memorials, including Imre Nagy's grave. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen addressed the National Assembly, linking 1956 to the April election and saying the government's reforms had reopened access to EU funds; Council President António Costa attended. Macron cancelled his visit and Zelensky skipped the event. Coverage framed the visit as a reset in EU–Hungary relations.
