“Gathering is a fundamental right!”, or « A voice is not enough! » Posters labeled today at the busy points of Budapest, Debrecen, Pécs and Szeged. Amnesty International Hungary activists They were placed … For example, I ran into such a molino at Széll Kálmán Square and at the Pest Bridge Head of Margaret Bridge. Members and volunteers of the law enforcement NGO later appeared at the latter site, as they were held on Mari Square in Jászai from 4 pm in the afternoon A sound is not enough! The opening event of their campaign.

– We launched a campaign called « A Sound Not Enough ». Today, because today, the restriction of the right to assembly came into effect. Yesterday, the Fundamental Law was amended, which we think absolutely do not meet human rights … We are here to show people to the creative tools to express their voice beyond the gatherings – explained Gábor Hacsi, a lawyer at Amnesty Hungary, to Blikk on the scene. The expert said the campaign launch event has the opportunity to talk to legal experts and an exhibition that shows resistance actions people tried to achieve something and finally succeeded: for example, as a result of a campaign, they reached a home care fee.

-It is very important that, although many people associate the amendment to the Fundamental Law that came into force today, it is much wider, as it is a restriction of the right to assembly and a violation of our freedom of assembly, which is our fundamental right.said Gábor Hacsi, adding:

– The fact that they can use facial recognition technologies against peaceful protesters can actually apply to any demonstration, and the fact that the rights of children are above all is absolutely exploited …- say, gay people, not only in the field of assembly but also in the field of assembly. We are protesting here now.

The « A voice is not enough! » The campaign also points out that the law in force today takes a right that we received only 36 years ago at the time of the change of regime. In addition to raising awareness, it provides knowledge and concrete tools into the hands of disagreements that go beyond participation in demonstrations and elections, and that anyone can stand in the long run creatively and effectively.

– We have an exhibition under the name Barna Hajnal, which illustrates the graphics and a story of how dictatorships are built. And draws attention to where the point is where we could still stand up and stopping the building of a dictatorship – say, say, say – said Gábor Hacsi.

The event, which lasted until 7 pm, also had a stage program: Virág Zsugyó, a member of the organization in Debrecen, and one of their activists gave a speech, but there was a joint music and conversation, and a message board that everyone could stand on.
