1October 23rd, 1956, 10, the college students in Budapest kicked off the Hungarian incident. At noon 12, the minister of the interior announced on the radio that any public meetings and demonstrations were prohibited, but the students complained even more. Soon, the radio broadcast the news of lifting the ban, which increased people's contempt and dissatisfaction with the government. At 3pm, more than 65,438+00,000 students set off from the Art College and the Technical University for the statue of the Hungarian revolutionary poet Petofi and the monument of Polish general Joseph Bem. Along the way, people kept joining, and at the destination, the number has reached 200 thousand. The marchers chanted slogans such as "Hungarians will come to our side", "Drive the Russians out", "Throw Rakosi into the Danube" and "We want to Nagy". After the parade arrived at the Capitol, the crowd asked Najib to speak. After repeated persuasion, Najib reluctantly came to the front of the parade to persuade people to remain calm.
However, Gero Ernoe, who succeeded Rakosi Matyas as the first secretary of the Hungarian Labor People's Party, delivered a harsh speech on the radio at 8 pm. He called hundreds of thousands of demonstrators "enemies of the Hungarian people" and dismissed people's accusations of unequal relations between Hungary and the Soviet Union as "despicable lies and hostile fabrications". The speech turned the demonstrators from discontent to anger. At 9: 30, the crowd overthrew the bronze statue of Stalin in Stalin Square in the center of Budapest. Then the demonstrators rushed into the radio station and demanded that their demands be broadcast to the whole country. After being rejected, they began to attack the radio building. The bloody conflict began.
