The Civil Solidarity Forum (CÖF) - Civil Solidarity Public Foundation (CÖKA) organizes a traveling exhibition presenting the events of the 2006 "Gyurcsány terror" at the initiative of the National Legal Protection Service (NJSZ). This was also announced at the press conference of the NGO on Tuesday.
The traveling exhibition about "the republic painted blood red on October 23, 2006", the material of which will be presented in the public areas of the settlements, will be launched on September 17, the 15th anniversary of the publication of the Ószöd speech, said Mr. Zoltán Lomnici. In addition to the exhibition showing the photographs, weapons and tools "used during the police terror", forums will also be held, where the "heroes of 2006", those affected by the violations, will report on what happened.
The spokesperson said that, at the same time, a proposal will be made to set up a civil justice committee, which will investigate "police crimes", court practice following the events, and fundamental rights violations committed by the public authorities. "All the more so, because the then Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány was not held legally accountable, " said Jr. Zoltán Lomnici.
Tamás Gaudi-Nagy , the executive director of the NJSZ, the traveling exhibition is all the more relevant because the political elite, for whose sake the "police terror" took place, is preparing to come back to power and still denies the violations and promises that there continues where it left off.
Furthermore, the aim of the exhibition is to relive the events of 2006, which corresponded to "systematic terror" in the interest of power, for the young people, who were no longer witnesses of what happened due to their age, because raising awareness is a moral and national political responsibility. He added: in the case of Ferenc Gyurcsány, the investigation by the justice committee is also necessary because the act of terrorism is a non-statutory crime.
György Gőbl , the president of the Public Rights Victims Association, which also participated in the organization of the exhibition, said that the violence was not initiated by the peaceful protesters, but by the police on October 23, 2006, when the police beat people to death without any reason. Only a few of the victims of the violations received compensation.
László Nagy , one of whose eyes was shot out with a rubber bullet during the crowd dispersal, said that instead of shooting people in the legs according to regulations, the police fired targeted shots at people's heads. As a result, one of his eyes was operated on through the roof of his mouth, which left him blind.
CÖF-CÖKA is waiting for the applications of all those who suffered a violation of rights in 2006, but whose story has remained secret until now. They are also starting a fundraiser to finance the traveling exhibition. The bank account number can be found on the CÖF website.
At the press conference, Jr. Zoltán Lomnici responded to the suggestion that the left had the possibility of adopting a new constitution even with a simple parliamentary majority: this is a crime in the legal sense, politically impossible and trampling on democracy.
