Hungary: Protests (and Protest Art) in Budapest

Categories: Eastern & Central Europe, Hungary, Freedom of Speech, Governance, Human Rights, Law, Media & Journalism, Politics, Protest

The Contrarian Hungarian writes about “a long weekend of protests” in Budapest – here [1] and here [2], and about “a protest art competition that serves both as creative outlet and as protest against the most recent instances of the government’s restrictions on the freedom of the press” – here [3]. Hungarian Spectrum comments [4] on today's protest: “[…] the fact that more than 100 trade unions and civic organizations managed to create a Hungarian version of the Polish Solidarity movement signals that something is brewing.”
