As part of the event series held to honour the 110th anniversary of the birth of our namesake, the venue was a fitting choice to complement the title of our photo exhibition (“From Palace to Parliament”), which was opened on 30 September in Várkert Bazár. Gergely Prőhle illustrated the life of Otto von Habsburg with the pictures displayed at the foot of the Buda Castle, complementing them with various stories and anecdotes tailored to the location and the audience’s interests. He also pointed out that our Foundation’s operation was based on a law passed by a large majority in the autumn of 2016 and that we are working to preserve our namesake’s legacy and nurture his intellectual heritage.
After Imre Vejkey’s introduction, the participants commemorated Otto von Habsburg in prayer, who stood up for Hungarian causes as a Member of the European Parliament, and whom we can look up to as a role model of authentic Christian politics in the present. In addition to Márta Mátrai and several Members of the Parliament, the event was attended by guests and our Foundation’s employees.
From this day onwards, the public can visit the roll-up exhibition entitled “Life and Heritage” of Otto von Habsburg in the foyer of the Visitor Centre of the House of Parliament.
