You would never guess why 60 people demonstrated with camels in Budapest! – VIDEO

A group of people arrived with two camels on Szabadság Square on August 11.

According to index.hu, whose reporters were at the demonstration, the organisers wanted to stand up against the wrong water management in Hungary. They would like to draw people’s attention to the

catastrophic consequences of the lack of proper measures in this issue.

They did not randomly choose camels. They said that Hungary would become a desert because of the lack of water. Therefore, Hungarian citizens will have to substitute their cars with camels. The protest was organised by three environmental protection NGOs, and there were approximately 60 people at the scene. Many of them spoke about the errors in Hungarian water management and how the lack of water is threatening the globe.

Some of them warned that

Hungary would become a desert.

They cited the example of Lake Velence, in the case of which 40 pc of the former water content evaporated, and many say that the second-biggest lake of Hungary is dying.

The demonstrators said they wanted to show a future when an animal of the desert would feel at home in Hungary because of climate change affecting the Carpathian Basin.

Therefore, they urged immediate measures in environmental protection and water management. Euronews.com said that the camel caravan looked very strange near the Hungarian Parliament. They also reported that some demonstrators highlighted that the Kiskunság on the Great Hungarian Plain is

already a semi-desert.

Even so, the government does not do anything to upgrade the country’s water management.

The main organiser of the event said that the water Hungary lacks equals the amount of water in two Lakes Balaton. Szubotáj Bagatur, the coordinator of the communication committee of the Green Guerilla Movement, added that trees will die out, and only the most resistant grass will remain if there is no change.
