23 octobre : un jour pour défendre les libertés en Hongrie

La Hongrie commémore les événements de 1956 en même temps que la journée de 1989 qui a mis fin au régime communiste. Cette fête nationale est aussi, pour une partie des Hongrois, l’occasion de manifester contre le régime autoritaire mis en place en 2012 par Victor Orban.

Le 23 octobre 2011, quelque 100 000 manifestants défilaient dans les rues de Budapest pour protester contre le régime liberticide que Viktor Orban était en train d’instaurer en Hongrie. Quelques uns, parmi les plus âgés, avaient participé à l’insurrection contre le régime communiste hongrois, le 23 octobre 1956. On se souvient que 10 jours plus tard, cette révolution démocratique avait été écrasée par les forces soviétiques, au prix de 200 000 morts. Un tiers de siècle plus tard, un 23 octobre (1989), ce régime prenait fin, laissant la place à une république de Hongrie qui a fonctionné démocratiquement jusqu’au 1er janvier 2012, date de l’entrée en vigueur d’une nouvelle constitution, inspirée des idées de l’extrême droite hongroise.

Cette journée du 23 octobre, dite Fête de la Révolution (Forradalom ünnepe), est devenue fête nationale en 1990, marquée par des célébrations officielles de cette double célébration, est aussi l’occasion pour l’opposition de protester contre un État hongrois aux tendances de plus en plus autoritaires. Cette année, des milliers de Budapestois défilent en soutien des étudiants qui se battent pour l'autonomie de la l’Université des arts du théâtre et du cinéma (SZFE) menacée par le pouvoir et la liberté académique. La conquête de la mairie de Budapest par l’opposition, en octobre 2019, donne néanmoins l’espoir aux démocrates de pouvoir mettre fin un jour au régime de Viktor Orbán.

Mise à jour 2022 : En 2022, ce fut une journée très paradoxale en Hongrie puisque, d’un côté, on y commémore une agression russe et que, en même temps, le gouvernement hongrois soutient l’agression russe de l’Ukraine. Cette année, le président Orban, largement réélu, n’a pas profité de ce jour férié pour rassembler ses partisans à Budapest comme il l’avait fait les années précédentes. Il a choisi faire profil bas et de s’exprimer depuis une ville de province alors que l’opposition manifestait, comme chaque année, dans la capitale.

//There were approximately 10 000-20 000 people at the #free SZFE/university autonomity protest today and it's still going (I don't know when it ends, probably soon)! Which is a huge deal! Especially that today is a national holiday for us (1956 revolution). The protests have been going on for more than 50 days and it makes me proud and so hopeful for the future.

Vibes in the protest and before that

Yesterday we protested for the independence of Hungary's University of Theatre and Film Arts following the imposition of a government-appointed board, which they say will undermine its autonomy.

The protester was incredible and empowering but it also makes me sad because here in Hungary we have to protest for the academic freedom which is a fundamental right...

If you had the time to like this then reblog it as well! I may sound salty but this is very important for my country.

^ If you don't want to read the article then at least read Francois's post about why this is so important.

Eva Green sent one as well. Cate Blanchett, Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen, Salman Rushdie are also supporters of our just cause (alongside with lots of hungarian celebrities) Pleass, do so too by signal boosting this.

A bit of context: after the Hungarian government unfairly and without compromise rearranged the leadership of the University of Theater and Film Arts, the students barricaded themselves in the school, not allowing entrance to the new owner. This is part of the protests going on for years for our freedom of speech, for our education, our healthcare and many other things, but unlike other protests, the students are not going home. Artists, students and generally anyone not wanting to live in oppression stand up with them and decorate everything in the name of our demands with the construction tape the students used for the barricades.

Thank u Rachel this is very cool!!!

4) favourite dish specific for your country?

HARCSAPAPRIKÁS it's basically fish stew that’s seasoned kind of like goulash, it tasty! And, just plain fried fish that's sold all around Lake Balaton, it's good as shit. I also like lángos, which is actually just deep-fried dough with sour cream, cheese and/or garlic topping

13) does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders?

It was frowned upon to toast/clink glasses with beer ever since the pact of Trianon (many parts of Hungary have been given to neighboring countries and it was considered one of the saddest events in Hungarian history) bc the people who wrote the terms of the treaty celebrated with beer that way. I guess that's the strangest I can think of?

14) do you enjoy your country’s cinema and/or TV?

I mean, there's some good ass Hungarian movies and shows? (Watch Liza the Fox Fairy, A Kind Of America, Aranyélet, Üvegtigris, or Son of Saul) There's some real bad soap operas too of course, but generally I think our movie industry is growing more potent by each new artist. That being said, free SzFE

15) a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?

O1G (Orbán Egy Geci - Orban’s A Spunk(?). Viktor Orbán is our long-time prime minister and he, together with his political party, are indeed “spunks”)

18) do you speak with a dialect of your native language?

I don’t think so ahfdh ever since urbanization became a thing here, Hungarian dialects have started to fade and now there’s only a very little part of society still speaking it. I’ve had friends from the other part of the country who had a faint accent and used somewhat different words but even they have started to speak in standard hungarian more and more I think. Young folks don’t really work to preserve dialects, so if you want authentic hungarian dialects u need to hit up the rural old communities
