Social Media & Political Change: Case Of Hungarian “Teachers’ Revolt”
- 2 Feb 2016 8:00 AM
- current affairs
I am following with fascination the Orbán government’s reaction to the “teachers’ revolt” that originated with a single complaining letter from a high school in Miskolc, a town that’s not exactly the center of Hungarian liberalism.
Xpat Opinion: Teachers’ Revolt Brewing In Hungary?

I have the distinct feeling that something is afoot in Hungary, something the self-satisfied Orbán government is not prepared for. I see the beginnings of a movement that may well overcome the current apathy and resignation of Hungarian society and produce active resistance to the Orbán regime.
Xpat Opinion: Criticism & Self-Criticism Of Hungarian Teachers

Although the leaders of HÖOK insist that “student unity” is intact, I see it differently. The Orbán government as usual has managed to drive a wedge between the two organizations: HÖOK, the present-day KISZ, and the newly formed HaHa (Hallgatói Hálózat).
