Student protest in Hungary

There was a technical problem to log in to my original blog janoskisphotography.blogspot.com ,therefore I could't upload new stories for awhile. I created this new blog to continue my eyewitness photo stories but keep your eyes on the old one as well 'cause I will continue as soon as possible.

I photographed the student protest against the government's education policy in Budapest, Hungary. High school and university student gathered together at the University of Technology and Economics and later headed to the Economy Ministry. In spite of the freezing weather the crowd marched to the Parliament, occupied the parking lot and even reached the stairs where the police stopped them. 


The students shouted anti-government slogans like " down with the tution" and  also demanded the resignation of education secretary Rozsa Hoffmann. For now tousands of Hungarian students demonstraing across the country. They want immediate reforms.
