“The pedestal of Zsigmond Stróbl’s Statue of Liberty will receive a huge stone cross. If they have decided, then the cross will stand if it breaks, if it tears,” began Ferenc Gyurcsány in a voluminous Facebook post that can be said to be almost usual for him.
In his latest post, the president of the Democratic Coalition is believed to be HVG responded to his article, in which the newspaper explains that a cross will be placed on the base of the Statue of Liberty as part of the renovation of the Citadel, which is expected to be completed by 2026, but allegedly despite the request of the heirs of Zsigmond Strobl Kisfaludi.
They are not interested in what Stróbl’s heirs ask for, nor what the chief architect of the capital thinks. What do they have to do with it? asks the power. Really, what do we have to do with it?
Ferenc Gyurcsány protested.
According to Gyurcsány, a person’s main point of alignment is himself
The politician explains in his writing that Hungary is not even a Christian state, only in name, so it is unjustified to put a cross on the public work. Among other things, this is justified by the fact that less than half of the people in the country declared themselves Christian in the last census.
We also reported that the renovation of the Citadel is already in full swing within the framework of the National Haussmann Program, thanks to which, among other things, the green space in the area will increase by one and a half times, and a new public park will be created inside the fortress wall.
We place a cross on the pedestal, the most important symbol of the 1,100-year-old Hungarian statehood, Western Christianity and European culture. On the pedestal designed by the Stalinist Boris Jofan, where the statue of the Soviet soldier used to stand, we will place a cross
– the Castle Administration previously informed in its statement, and this knocked the fuse from the President of the DK.
“We are trying to arrange the earthly world based on the dreams, desires, intentions, and talents of the people who live here, not by scrutinizing and aligning with the intentions of the creator God,” the politician concluded briefly on the issue of Christianity in Hungary, adding that it is not at all uninteresting what the people think about this. church and political leaders, “because this is the situation”.
You can argue against it, but the fact is that people’s main point of alignment in their lives is the search for their own happiness and satisfaction, not conformity to God. That’s the situation
he wrote.
DK has a problem with the clergy, so the cross is not needed
Ferenc Gyurcsány also stated that “the state does have a constitution, but it does not have a religious worldview, so the state cannot be Christian”. He then added that the state may represent value and may have an opinion on good and bad, but “in all cases, the source of this is man himself, not God.”
In the end, the president of the DK, after a long time, gets to the point of saying, in fact, that a stone cross should not be placed at the base of the Statue of Liberty, because he has a problem, a “dispute” with the clergy.
