| 説明 | The protest on the Liberty Square has started on February, 09 and is still on.The monument that Fidesz government intends to build in the middle of the square is considered to be a rude and undisguised revision of history and an offense to memory of those who died in Holocaust. The Jewish community of Budapest is boycotting the commemoration of 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Holocaust which has place this year.The statue depicts Hungary as Archangel Gabriel, completely powerless, being attacked by the German eagle. It will be very big - 7 meters tall, and the spread of the eagle’s wings will be 4.5 meters wide. This is an unacceptable interpretation of the facts and falsification of entire history. Hungary was an ally of Germany, and it was a legitimate Hungarian government that handled the deportation of about 600,000 Hungarian citizens of Jewish and Roma origin. Not without reason, critics of the whole idea of the monument suspect that the Orbán government wants to shake off any responsibility for the Holocaust and to shift the blame entirely to Germany.The government has stopped the construction of the monument before elections in May and promised to start a dialogue with citizens, but right after elections they have restarted the construction without consulting with Budapest community. In the first weeks of the protest the police tried to remove people forcefully.The best known demonstrators who were taken away by police are Imre Mécs - a hero of the revolution of 1956 (he is a former member of parliament who was sentenced to death as a result of his participation in the 1956 revolution) and his wife Fruzsina Magyar, a well-known dramaturgist.Many other famous Hungarians took part in the protest. On June 21th, the famous Hungarian musician and director Adam Fischer conducted the performance of the hymn of Europe - Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". He noted that initially Beethoven wrote it as the "Ode to Freedom", but the because of censorship of those times he had to call it "Ode to Joy". "Let's sing about joy, but think about freedom," - Adam Fischer said.www.168ora.hu/itthon/oromodaval-tortenelemhamisitas-ellen...Bartus László writes in the Amerikai Népszava (January 24, 2014):"Orban, you have opened the gate to hell. You do not know which powers do you release in the country, with your Nazi eagle and Archangel Gabriel". nepszava.com/2014/01/magyarorszag/orban-a-sajat-politikai...Viktor Orbán government’s efforts to falsify history are proceeding full steam ahead. One of the writings in front of the monument says: "This statue is your curse, Viktor." |
