Otto von Habsburg is known to have studied the history and fate of Hungarian settlements with great interest. Through invitations to various occasions, he visited many places in Hungary. Due to certain historical connections, he would have liked to visit the small village of Mány, but the invitation was unfortunately received late.
Fifty years ago, on Monday, November 9, 1970, Charles de Gaulle, the French President, died at his home in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises. The news of his death shook many of his admirers, including Otto von Habsburg, who was just in Paris at the invitation of President Georges Pompidou.
