Thirty years ago, on 30 September 1989, the name of Otto von Habsburg appeared in the domestic press as a candidate for the post of president of the Independent Smallholders, Farmers and Civic Party. In an interview with Radio Free Europe on the same day, Otto von Habsburg said he did not know about this idea, but later received a letter of nomination dated 29 September 1989.
In cooperation with the Otto von Habsburg Foundation, the Institute for Foreign Affairs and Trade (IFAT) hosted a conference covering discussions on the historical experience and the reunification of Europe on 3 December 2019.
The photo was taken of Otto von Habsburg at Christmas 1956 surrounded by his family in Pöcking, Austria. At the same time in New York Sándor Márai wrote a poem entitled Herald Angel:
Archduke Mihály Habsburg-Lothringen, chairman the Hungarian Mindszenty Foundation and head of the Palatine branch of the Habsburg family paid a visit to our Foundation. Accompanied by his wife, Christiana Habsburg Lothringen took a look at a few items of our collection as well.
