Coronavirus: the second wave

Half a year after the spring outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the second wave of the pandemic has arrived.

As they write, Attila Vidnyánszky “is in a satisfactory state, resting at home.” The theater is conducting investigations and contact tests in consultation with epidemiological authorities, according to the statement.

Attila Vidnyánszky registered online live Tuesday for the hearing of the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education, which was held at the University of Theater and Film Arts. Two invited speakers from both the government and the university: László György, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Innovation and Technology, Attila Vidnyánszky, President of the Board, László Upor, Acting Rector, and Hanna Milovits, University Students, Vice President of the Student Government.

During the committee’s “exchange of views”, Vidnyánszky spoke, among others, saying that 15,000 people attended the October 23 demonstration not to show solidarity with the students, but because the left-wing political parties held an act of campaign opening. At live check-in, he put photos taken inside the university building in front of his camera that showed a kitchen table filled with mineral water and soda bottles, a storage room full of boxes, and another photo of the kitchen. the latter with a bottle of viscose and a can of beer. Based on the images, he said he said that the prevailing lawlessness at the university had made the situation “dangerous from the point of view of a fire department.”
