The law further cancels the public holidays of April 4 and November 7, due to their association with Soviet occupation. • Revolution Day: March 15, marking the outbreak of the 1848/9 revolution and war of independence, from which modern parliamentarianism in Hungary can be dated. • St. Stephen's Day: August 20, the feast of St Stephen of Hungary, founder of the state, declared by Parliament, in 1991, to be the official State National Day. • Republic Day: October 23, anniversary of the outbreak of the 1956 revolution and proclamation of the Republic of Hungary in 1989. • Bridge Public Holidays were introduced in 2007 as per law law 170/2006 (Chapter VII, section 28), to occur on Mondays preceding Tuesday holidays, and to occur on Fridays following Thursday holidays.
