Demonstration on the Danube: boatmen protest in Budapest
Change language:
27 boats protested against the planned amendment of the Danube Coast Building Code on Saturday, with the participation of the National Association of Hungarian Shipping and the Association of Passenger Boaters.
According to a report by Index, 4000 people on board the boats took part in the protest on the Budapest section of the Danube. 27 boats lined up and sounded their horns after the Bibic boat passed by with a Hungarian flag flying, the portal reported.
This year, the traditional raid was combined with a peaceful protest by the National Association of Hungarian Shipping (MAHOSZ) and the Association of Passenger Boaters against the planned amendment of the Danube Coast Building Code.

As stressed, in the amendment, the decision-makers of the capital would stipulate that 9 instead of 24 ports could be used by ships on the affected stretch of the coast. In this case, however, there would be a significant increase in vessel traffic, while the engines would be constantly running, creating noise and smog.
“An unknown lifeboat, is better than a KNOWN ship 🚢 sinking FAST – by the stern.”
Very much an expression you could apply right across the entire spectrum of Hungary, in these Worsening TIMES.
Democracy is DIALOGUE.
Is there ANY Dialogue to sort out this MESS ?
