Parallel With Hungary Denied
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) BUDAPEST, July 14. A Hungarian Communist has flatly contradicted Soviet writers who have claimed there is a parallel between Czechoslovakia’s new reform programme and the steps which led to the bloody Budapest uprising of October, 1956.
Mr Janos Gosztonyl, chief editor of the Hungarian Communist daily, “Nepszabadsag,” said in a speech to Parliament reported yesterday: “There is definitely no parallel between the Czechoslovak events and those in Hungary in 1956—in the sense of a counter-revo-lution in Czechoslovakia.” Mr Gosztonyi added, however, that in the present complicated struggle being waged in Czechoslovakia there were errors and faults of leadership. But he concluded: “Our stand . . . has not changed.
We express our solidarity and our unchanged belief that our Czechoslovak fraternal party . . . will be victorious . . in the struggle against antiSocialist and hostile forces.” This statement by a leading Hungarian Communist theorist on the eve of the Warsaw East Bloc meeting aroused special interest, since it presumably mirrors the Hungarian viewpoint towards Prague at the moment
