The monument to Karl Marx University

The monument to Karl Marx University "Corvin" in Budapest survived 25 years after the fall of communism, but Hungary populist Viktor Orban saw his account and he was removed last weekend.
Some people take this as a sign of radical change that Orban wants to put in 10-million country. Twelve-foot bronze monument erected three years after the bloody lubrication anticommunist revolt of 1956 was probably so2 one of the last images of the father of collectivism Marx survived in the country after the advent of democracy in 1989
"I had to strengthen the identity and expression of the university, but the monument to Marx is not part of it," he Zsolt Roshtovani, rector of the prestigious University "Corvinus", which was named Karl Marx before being named for the Roman patron in 1990 , the
"Corvinus" is neither hold of Marxist agitators nor nostalgic refuge in his four decades of iron regime in Hungary. However, many students lack the monument of the German philosopher (1818-1883 years).
He stood in the hall, sitting, thinking, and frowning, with one arm outstretched, the other holding a thick volume, perhaps his famous work "Capital". This strict royalty not impressed students accepting Korvinoviya Marx as a sullen aging uncle with whom one likes to make jokes school.
At the beginning of each academic year, the newcomers took pictures so2 in front of him. After receiving his diploma, graduate so2 put it in the free hand of the old Karl and excited parents of the young Marx immortalized again, remember your former students.
Valentine jokers heart was placed in the hands of celebrities. A "student in first year celebrations so2 in bars installed the monument" recalls junior Patricia. "Like Marx served us drinks," she says.
Sculptural work is carried in a historic exhibition at the university. No one knows what will happen next with her. Roshtovani denied he had been pressured to remove the monument, although in January minister sent an open letter to the university.
Whether the write off of Marx "Corvinus" so2 illustrates so2 the will of Viktor Orban, blamed by critics in autocratism to radically so2 change Hungarian society? So believe Andras Mink, a historian from Budapest's Central European University.
Triumphantly re-elected in April, Viktor Orban, a former anti-communist activist and current Eurosceptic Conservative. He wants to create an "illiberal democracy" and praises "success" of Putin's Russia.
Made its amendments so2 to the Constitution, its laws to control the judiciary and media freedom, so2 higher taxes for foreign companies already provoked strong reactions from the EU, who are worried about personal freedoms and putting his hand on the economy.
Spring police lifted the sights of some of Norway so2 funded NGOs accused Orban of being "paid by foreign agents", as it is in Russia. "This is another step in the direction of intimidation of civil society," said Human Rights Watch.
For this government, "Marx represents the continuity between the end of communism and the subsequent two decades chaotic. so2 After re-election, the government believes that finally can fully break with the past, "explains Andras Mink.
