Roma Man Protests Far-Right From Cage In Hungary
"Árpád Horváth, a 33-year-old Roma man, has moved to Blaha Lujza tér to protest the emergence of the far-right in Hungary: from a cage.

Horváth set up his custom-built two-by-two-metre iron cage at the bus stop on the square on Tuesday afternoon.

He told Népszabadság that he has no huge expectations, but hopes that he can shake some people out of their apathy.

Horváth complained that the governments of the last 20 years have done nothing to combat extremist thinking, while “Gypsy leaders” just stood by, hirtv.hu writes."
