Statement in Hungarian

Tiltakozunk a magyar kormány által elfogadott új felsőoktatási törvény ellen, amely ellehetetleníti a Central European University (CEU) budapesti működését és alapjaiban korlátozza az akadémiai szabadságot.
Tüntetést szervezünk nemcsak a magyarországi vagy az európai unión belüli, hanem a globális oktatási szabadság mellett.

Találkozzunk április 7-én, pénteken 17.00-kor a Plaça de la Universitaton, a Barcelonai Egyetem történelmi épülete előtt.
SZABAD MAGYARORSZÁG!



SZABAD EGYETEM!

Statement in Spanish

Protestamos para denunciar el ataque que el gobierno húngaro de ultra derecha ha cometido en contra de la libertad académica. En concreto, denunciamos la nueva ley en educación superior que el presidente Viktor Orbán y su partido han diseñado especialmente para no permitir que la Central European University (CEU) pueda continuar ejerciendo su libre funcionamiento en Budapest, Hungría. Nos reunimos para solidarizarnos con los compañeros de CEU, así como para defender la libertad de educación en general, no solo en el caso de Hungría o la UE. Nos vemos este viernes 7 de abril a las 17h a Plaça Universitat (Barcelona), delante del edificio histórico de la UB. Que corra la voz. Con la libertad de educación no se juega!!

On Monday, April 3rd, the Government refined the bill, making it more punitive, and announced that they would fast-track the legislation through Parliament. The morning of April 4th it was voted on and passed. It is impossible for CEU to comply with the new legislation. Like many other American universities (see Wikipedia ), CEU has one physical location, but two identities: it is an American and a Hungarian institution. The new legislation states, in effect, that to continue its dual identity, CEU must also conduct its activities in the US, and that the dual identity must be ratified by a *federal* agreement betwee
