tüntesd

Tüntesd is the second-person singular imperative form of the Hungarian verb tüntetni, which means to demonstrate or protest. The noun tüntetés refers to a public demonstration. In practice, tüntetés denotes organized gatherings where participants express political, social, or economic concerns and advocate for change.

The term is used widely in Hungarian media and discourse to describe street protests, rallies, marches, or pickets. Protests have been a feature of Hungary's modern political life, with notable episodes during the 19th-century reform era, the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, and the transition from communism after 1989. In recent decades tüntetések have addressed issues such as governance, education, labor rights, corruption, and environmental policy. They can vary in size and form, from small vigils to large-scale parades.

Rights and regulation: Hungary's Basic Law protects freedom of assembly and expression; peaceful demonstrations are generally allowed, subject to applicable public-order rules. Organizers may be required to notify authorities or obtain permits, and demonstrations may be restricted for safety, traffic, or security reasons. Police typically coordinate crowd management to maintain safety while allowing peaceful dissent.
