Week 10: Blog post 2b: Europe: Hungary: Large protest in support of Hungary's Soros-backed university


    The article from the BBC deals with the demonstration of Hungary citizens against the government, describing the new legislation of government, the target university, CEU, of the law, and presents condition of the demonstrators. Hungarian government introduced new rule and passed it to the Higher Education Act, meaning that the CEU, Central European University, which is registered in the US and famous for democratic property, will not be able to continue working in Budapest. CEU is an university founded and sponsored billionaire philanthropist George Soros who has a tense relationship with PM Orban who supported the abolition of the university. Against it, unprecedented demonstration is held by students, their families, and many other elders or adults and they are marching peacefully and chanting the slogans. To sum up, currently in Hungary there are many protesters against the government that is aiming at the shut-down of CEU, the university registered in US not Hungary.

   As in Hungary, in Korea, there have been a lot of demonstration to recover democracy and I participated in them several times, requesting transparent reign, wise policy for welfare, and offering proper education of history. There was an accident last year, where the president operated the country at the sake of particular person, so I insisted that operation of government be transparent and impartial. In addition, usage of taxes collected from nations haven't been efficient and wasted, so I urged to allocate budget considering the people's need and discomfort. Moreover, government tried to offer students history textbooks written by government which contain distorted and biased contents, so I protested publication of them actively. To protect and restore democratic Korea, I tried hard suggesting fair management of country, proper distribution of taxes for people, and right schooling of our past.
