Anti-nuclear protests in Hungary Atomenergia ellenes tüntetések Magyarországon

Hungary’s anti-nuclear protests and related activities in recent years have mainly been linked to Greenpeace. The activities started in 2003 in relation to the extension of the reactors’ lifetime, and picked up in 2009 after the decision to expand the plant was taken. Greenpeace activists protested against nuclear power in various creative ways, such as turning a roundabout into a nuclear sign, symbolically walling up the national nuclear power office, and also by organising a photo exhibition, holding a public demonstration, and of course offering an alternative solution by encouraging renewables.
