Hungary’s Christmas tree is already standing in front of the Parliament thanks to the National Directorate General for Disaster Management of the Ministry of Interior

More than 20 metres tall, with a trunk diameter of 80 cm, the 5-tonne pine tree made its 270-kilometre journey from the garden of a family house in Hajdúszoboszló in nine hours and arrived in front of the Parliament from Sunday to Monday morning.

The offerer, Zsuzsa Hegedűsné Agárdi and her husband are very sorry that the tree had to be cut down, but they are happy that it was chosen as the country’s Christmas tree and that it now decorates the Kossuth Square in Budapest.

The Hungarian Defence Forces and MKIF’s traffic cameras recorded the convoy.

With the Christmas period approaching, more and more people are using the motorways.

Please drive more carefully than usual!
