When Hungary's new prime minister, Péter Magyar, was sworn in, they played the Hungarian national anthem in Parliament. And also the European Anthem (Beethoven's Ode to Joy).
In addition to the EU anthem, Magyar requested that anthems of ethnic minorities be played.
They played the anthem of the Székely people in Hungary, who primarily live in Romania.
What's even more amazing is the honoring of the Roman community

In Parliament today, they played the unofficial anthem of Hungary's Roma community. The playing of this last anthem in particular is an unprecedented gesture of respect toward the community of roughly 700,000 Roma in Hungary.
