The president of Hungary toured a museum and two churches, met state officials and residents — and also received a basket of Louisiana’s famous strawberries — during his first-ever trip to the state’s Hungarian Settlement in rural Livingston Parish.
At least 100 Livingston Parish residents gathered Wednesday at an event space located in the largest rural Hungarian settlement in the United States, which is nestled between the small towns of Albany and Springfield, to see Tamás Sulyok, the president of Hungary. Sulyok is part of the government led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
