Everything in this troubled land is political
mainA group of Hungarians decided to deliver a 90th birthday serenade to former president Arpad Göncz, who led and liberalised the country for a decade (1990-2000) after the end of Communism.
Uncontroversially, they chose to sing Va, pensiero, from Verdi’s Nabucco. It was instantly understood as a protest against the present rightwing regime and is going viral online.
If you haven’t heard Va, pensiero in Hungarian, this is your chance. Almost better than the original.
Eternal hopes expressed in music… Ex-President Göncz is a humble, wise man. Thanks for the post.
