Student Protest in Hungary


                                         
There was a technical problem with this blog for awhile, so I set up an other temporary page janoskisphotographer.blogspot.com as well. A few weeks back I photographed Hungary ever biggest student protest against the government's education policy in Budapest. High school and university students gathered together at the University of Technology and Economics than later headed to the Economy Ministry. In spite of the freezing weather the crowd marched to the parliament, occupied the parking lot and even reached the stairs where the police stopped them. The students shouted anti-government slogans like "down the tuition" and also demanded the resignation the Education Secretary Rozsa Hoffmann. For now thousands of students demonstrating across the country. They want immediate reforms. I was there...
