In his celebratory speech, he emphasized that "this inaugurated national flag not only declares war on small-mindedness and cowardice, but also declares war on that eternally alarming, terrifying and goose-bumpy new defeatism, which in today's historical times wants to weaken the nation's self-confidence, challenge its optimism and cast doubt on its one and eternal vocation, in the Carpathian Basin".; The guests attending the inauguration ceremony were: Chief Warden Vilmos Jaross, Baron József Majthényi, Chief Notary Dr. Károly Szabó, Member of Parliament Dr. Pál Cselényi and, on behalf of the frontline soldiers, Dr. Sándor Balogh.
