The Treaty of Trianon, which ended the First World War, was signed 92 years ago, on 4 June, 1920. Under the terms of the treaty, two-thirds of the historic Hungary’s territory and half of its population went to neighboring countries. The communist regime was totally silent about the tragedy, in 2010, however, the parliament declared 4 June the day of national belonging.The local government organizes an enwreathing ceremony at the Statue of Hungarian Pain in Bem square, at 6:00 pm. on Monday.
