March 15: Hungary’s national holiday commemorating the outbreak of the 1848 revolution against Habsburg rule.
Always a lot of street politics on this date, especially this year with the general election just over three weeks away.
Orange Files covered simultaneous events in Budapest on this day: the Civil Cooperation Forum (CÖF)–organized pro–Orbán government Peace March (Békemenet) and the Hungarian Two-Tailed Dog Party (Kétfarkú Kutya Párt, or MKKP)–organized anti–Orbán government Peace March.
