Trade unions and civilians organized Saturday a large demonstration at the Kossuth square in front of the Parliament in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, demanding higher wages and the right to strike.
BUDAPEST, Hungary —
The demonstrators were holding signs such as “We continue to teach, despite meager salaries,” “There is no future without teachers,” and “Who is going to teach tomorrow?” On March 16, strikes were held in schools in Budapest, and major Hungarian cities following months of fruitless negotiations between the government and the trade unions.
Two weeks after a warning strike was staged on Jan. 31, a government decree took away the possibility of a visible and substantive strike from the teachers.
