Commemoration of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising

European Parliament resolution on the 50th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and its
historical meaning for Europe

The European Parliament,

— having regard to Rule 103(2) of its Rules of Procedure,

A. whereas the European Union is founded on the principles of liberty, democracy, the rule of law and
respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms — principles that are common to all Member
States,

B. whereas the countries of Central and Eastern Europe were deprived of their sovereignty and freedom by

the Yalta division of post-World War II Europe for more than four decades,

C. whereas the Communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe were not based on the consent or will
of the people, and were maintained by Soviet military occupation and through the collaboration of
Communist parties,

recalling the courage and determination of Hungarians who took to the streets in protest against the
dictatorial rule of the Communist Party on 23 October 1956,

expressing its esteem for the perseverance of the Hungarians who continued their fight for freedom,
national independence and civil rights in spite of the lack of any military help from the West and the
intervention and overwhelming military preponderance of the Soviet Union,

saluting the human and political courage of Imre Nagy, the reform-communist prime minister of Hun-
gary, who rightly understood the elementary expression of the will of the people and agreed to be the
political leader of the popular revolution for freedom and democracy, eventually sacrificing his life and
becoming a martyr for liberty as he was executed in 1958 for not bowing to pressure to publicly
renounce the Revolution,

saluting the victims of the Revolution — 2 170 killed in the fighting — and those of the cruel retalia-
tion — 228 executed between 1956 and 1961, 20 000 taken into custody and imprisoned between
1956 and 1958, and thousands discriminated against for decades after the Revolution by the returning
Communist leadership,

expressing its gratitude for the solidarity shown by people in many countries of the West as they
welcomed 194 000 Hungarian refugees in 1956 and 1957,

recognising the essential value of solidarity between nations in general and, in particular, between the
various nations of Central and Eastern Europe who have fought for their freedom — the Hungarians,
Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Germans, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians,
