Peter Ovadi: Veszprem Is a City of Courageous Decisions

The St. Michael’s Cathedral in Veszprem has been re-consecrated after a full renovation supported by the Hungarian government. Prime Minister Viktor Orban attended the Sunday celebration and delivered a speech. Peter Ovadi, Fidesz MP for Veszprem, said that the city has always been a place of courageous decisions, and that such courage is not only part of the past, but also needed in the 21st century.

Istvan Takats, the vicar general of the archdiocese, noted at the event that

the walls of Veszprem’s first church, the Chapel of St. George, have stood for more than a thousand years, and that it was around a thousand years ago that Queen Gisela began the construction of the St. Michael’s Cathedral.

Veszprem's castle district has not seen a building project of such historical scale for 250 years: with government support, twenty-two heritage buildings are being restored as part of the district’s renewal, he highlighted.

In addition to Prime Minister Viktor Orban and the speakers, the event was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen, Minister of Public Administration and Regional Development Tibor Navracsics, Janos Szekely, President of the Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference, several state secretaries and members of parliament, as well as numerous church and secular leaders from the region.
