Budapest, 1988. March 15 is one of the main national holidays in Hungary, commemorating the 1848 revolution. The rosette in Hungarian national colours, seen here on the leading dissident János Kis, has now been coopted by the Orbán regime to become an aggressive, almost compulsory symbol of nationalism. Wearing one today signifies support for his version of an authoritarian Hungary, rather than that of a freedom fighter.
