Hungary's quiet revolution

from ...and some change · host Alliance magazine

Long frozen under the grip of Viktor Orban, the winds of change are finally blowing in Hungary.Just months after his election, prime minister Peter Magyar is leading an astonishing clean up job; sweeping in anti-corruption legislation, potentially removing the current president and plans to clamp the super-rich with a wealth tax. It would mean Hungary would become be the first current EU member to introduce a new wealth tax since the 1980s. But that is just half of the story.There is another, untold side; of how communities, under the shadow of oppression, swapped ideas and moved money, keeping independent media and grassroots organisations – often deemed far too radical for the government - afloat.This is the story of how everyday people – through the act of giving - forged political resistance from the margins of society.
