Gov't must return to reform policy in 2009, says Hungary PM
Wednesday, 26 November 2008
Budapest, November 26 (MTI) - The government will have to return to its reform policy in 2009, the prime minister said on television on Wednesday, adding that it must not be allowed to make the same mistakes it has made in the past.

    Speaking on public television's Nap-kelte (Sunrise) morning magazine, Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany said he would be concentrating on next year's budget bill until its adoption on December 15, but afterwards he planned to drum up public support for a second round of reforms because the only way reforms can succeed is if the country understands and supports them.

    Asked about the Council of Elders established by President Laszlo Solyom, the PM said it was a good idea for the president to seek counsel from leading professionals. However, he voiced the view that Hungary did not have six months in which to prepare studies since the world was moving far too fast for that.

Reform or reverse
As I am not a native Hungarian, but an American-Hungarian, I can only sit back and watch from afar the politcal events unfold in the Homeland of my Family. 
In Cleveland, Ohio, there is a statue with these engraved words spoken by President John F. Kennedy in 1956: 
"nullOctober 23, 1956, is a day that will live forever in the annals of free men and nations. It was a day of courage, conscience and triumph. No other day since history began has shown more clearly the eternal unquenchability of man's desire to be free, whatever the odds against success, whatever the sacrifice required."[I]null 
I feel, now more than ever Hungary stands on the edge of success. When UNITED the Peoples of Hungary have time and again succeeded. Surely, this IS a time to unite.
