On this day in 1956, as Soviet tanks took the streets of Budapest, the brave people of Hungary rose up in defiance of oppression and foreign domination.
As Hungary remembers the heroes of the 1956 Revolution, let us also commemorate those who fight today for their freedom and their independence.🇭🇺

Burqa, as mulheres são apenas um pretexto
A segurança e as mulheres são o pretexto para uma lei mascarada cuja principal intenção é ser islamofóbica, e contribuir para a ladainha da ameaça da “grande substituição”.
