Just like 66 years ago, thousands of Hungarian teachers and students took to the streets of Budapest. However, there was a significant difference. Instead of banners with anti-Soviet slogans, the protesters held placards “Orbán get lost.” The protests were triggered by underfunded schools and intimidation of teachers who demanded better conditions, particularly by restricting the right to strike. After many years of futile requests to increase salaries, teachers decided to increase pressure on the current government. That is why Sunday's march was the largest in recent times. The organizers promised to continue the protests. Remarkably, Orbán has used the protest to attack Brussels. Thus, the government links the salary increase to the long-awaited EU funding, which has been delayed due to concerns about corruption and violation of democratic standards in Hungary. The Hungarian demonstrations are most likely based not only on demands for improving educational principles but also on unhappiness at the government's policy in general, in particular, its anti-European and pro-Russian stance. During the protest on Oct. 23, there were Ukrainian flags among the protesters, as well as the placards “Russians, go home!”.
