Possibly you have heard the news about Monday fighting in Budapest, let me write some words about it also to have an information from first hand.

Basic thing how anything was started, was not on Monday, but last week Thursday, when the police warned the hospitals to have enough 0 type blood ready for infusion for Monday. So police prepared, waited the people to go out to the street for the bank holliday 23 October, which is also a national feast. Each year some houndred thousand people is out all around the city and remember the heros who were fighting against the USSR army in 1956 in Hungary.

This year extra was that the goverment is on a zero level of morality, since the prime minister confessed, that they were telling lies before the elelections this sping. So also Monday the celebration was related to anti-goverment demonstration on many places.

On one place the police attacked a peacefull demonstration - people had only national flags in hands, no stones or any other wappons, there were students, retired people also among - an pushed them through the city. This way the mass in front of the police increased continously, since the city was full of people.

You know, we are not that kind of runaway guys, especially in our own city. So when police loudspeaker told us, that go away, we asked:
1. Where to? - No answer
2. Why? What did we do? We are home here! - No answer
… well, there was answer. Tear-gas. But:

THEY SHOT IT ON THE LEVEL OF THE HEAD.

Also they shot rubber bullets.

This is how started and how the police made the crowd angry. Continuously the police pushed the crowd (with tear-gas) to the direction of a legal celebration, where app. 150.000 people were in a huge mass. You can imagine… The police did not stop and filled the air of the whole city center with pepperoni taste gas.

There was an exhibition soviet T-34 war tank as a part of the decoration of the national feast. There were some fuel in it, someone who could drive a tank (a more than 60 years old veteran soldier) started it and went in front of the police. I simply didn’t belive in my own eyes, when I saw it!

So, democracy has fallen in Hungary on Monday, the goverment attacked the unarmed Hungarian citizens with tear-gas, because some of them told their opinion on the open streets. Yesterday my eyes did still hurt of gas.

This is the thruth, you can look after anything also on CNN and BBC, but anything you can read there is not complete, because also the Hungarian press is cenzored. Please tell it to your friends, that not a small minority is making the trouble in Hungary, but the leaders are defending their position with the power of terror and weapons.

Take care,
Bence
