Hungary Unveils 700-Metre Pedestrian 'Bridge of National Unity'

A 700-metre pedestrian bridge was inaugurated. The Bridge of National Unity is one of the longest bridges in the world. The eastern Hungarian city of Satoraljaujhely has a new tourist attraction.
The cable-stayed bridge is supported by six cable ropes.
The bridge was built at a cost of four billion HUF (10 million euros), financed from the national budget.
The government hailed the bridge a symbol of national unity, inaugurated on Hungary's June 4 Day of National Unity, also known as the Memorial Day of the Treaty of Trianon. Under the Trianon Peace Treaty, concluding World War I, Hungary lost two-thirds of its territory and half of its population to neighbouring countries. Many Hungarians consider the treaty a great injustice and the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban regularly fuels such sentiment.
