Teachers’ union PSZ calls for five-minute general strike

Budapest, April 14 (MTI) – Piroska Galló, the head of teachers’ trade union PSZ, has proposed that a five-minute general strike should be held on April 20 as a follow-up to a full-day school strike planned for April 15.

Galló told a press conference that “life should stop” with “no customers served in shops, no clients received in offices, and traffic halted” for the proposed period. PSZ’s message to the government is that “if school stops, nothing will work in the country”, she added.

Galló criticised the government’s “arrogance” concerning minimum requirements for the teachers’ strike and confirmed that children would not be left unattended and meals would be ensured on April 20.
