László Upor at the dusty Ódry Stage: Welcome back home

At the sixth anniversary of the university occupation, Upor László reflected on the past struggles against the government's forced model change at the Színház- és Filmművészeti Egyetem (SZFE). The event, organized by current and former students and faculty, commemorated the 71-day occupation that protested against the government's actions. Upor criticized the previous administration's decisions, particularly the sale of the Ódry Színpad to the Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem, and emphasized the need for restoring autonomy and a sense of community within the university. He called for a collective effort to reclaim the educational space and spirit, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by students and faculty in the independent sector. The demonstration also featured speeches from former leaders, expressing the need for accountability and recognition of past injustices.
