a contrast at Parlament

Below you will see the flag of the 1956 uprising... the Soviet Socialist symbol was cut out during the protests which turned violent and were crushed by Soviet tanks...




















This is the grand and beautiful Hungarian parlament building which saw battles in 1956 and in 2006 as a corrupt government was protested against, the protests continue...

























... thus a police presence and baracades...






















...there's something not quite right about all this...


I guess the uprising continues...
