Two major political rallies planned as parties mobilise for Hungary’s National Day
Preparations are already underway for Hungary’s 15 March national holiday, which this year is approaching in a particularly tense political climate. Pro-government organisations and opposition forces alike are working on large-scale street events, with both sides launching intensive mobilisation efforts.
On social media, interest is already clearly visible: the Tisza Party’s “National March” received a record number of responses within a short period of time, while news of the Peace March also spread rapidly online, with travel arrangements to Budapest already being organised in several locations.
Peace march confirmed for 15 March
In recent years, the Peace March has consistently been the largest pro-government demonstration held on Hungary’s national holiday.
Although there were earlier suggestions that the event might take place on a different date, organisers have now confirmed that they too will take to the streets on 15 March.
The march is once again being organised by the Civil Cooperation Forum (CÖF). Detailed programme information is expected later, but mobilisation has already begun. Based on previous years, participants are likely to arrive in Budapest by organised buses from various parts of the country.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán also reacted to the announcement with a brief message. On his social media page, he wrote simply: “Peace March on 15 March. The biggest.”
László Csizmadia, president of CÖF, said they expect everyone to attend who wishes to stand up for peace. “Every Hungarian who wants to stand against war must come to the Peace March,” he stated, adding that they are preparing for an event larger than any before.
In recent months, the government has consistently portrayed itself as a political force standing on the side of peace, and this tone is likely to dominate the speeches at the 15 March event as well.
