Yesterday the #Hungary govt shut down the number one dissident bar/community centre in Budapest - the cops found 1.99gram of pot on a customer 17 days before.
Reality: This is about attacking activism + NGOs funded by George Soros which the right wing govt hates. Short version.
Aurora is in the poorest district in the centre of Budapest β they bought an old building and made it a vibrant artistic musical and political space β also a jewish community centre that welcomes muslims + gypsies and all other social rejects. Therefore, I like it - and the govt hates it.
My Photos: Citizens debating in front the district council meeting... Interesting how the anti-Aurora people with signs complained about drugs + about becoming a 'party quarter'.
I feel that the Govt/Fidesz Party has coopted the anti-gentrification cause and all my people are on the wrong side of the debate! :-/
