Veres Péter szobra - Veres Péter szobra

Look for it on the right side of the entrance to the Péter Veres Cultural Center. The sculptor, in no way typical of the writer, depicted the native of the city. The approx. a life-size statue was placed on a not too high pedestal. Anniversary was inaugurated on the 75th anniversary of the birth of Péter Veres. The writer painted a perceptible picture of the fate of the poor peasantry in several of his works. He lived and worked in the settlement for a long time. His mother, Julianna Veres, was a maid, and her father, Péter Posta, came from a wealthy peasant family, but her parents never married, so she was given her mother’s last name. From 1945 to 1949, he was president of the National Peasant Party. In March 1945, as chairman of the National Land Management Council, he played a leading role in implementing land reform. He is one of the most popular public figures of the political life of the coalition period (1945–1948). Minister of Defense from 14 March 1947 to 9 September 1948 Interesting is the wall behind the statue, which has a doorway, I like it.
