  In the first years of the 1970s, especially on the day of the national holiday on March 15, large-scale celebratory and at the same time protest movements and parades of young people took place in the streets of the Hungarian capital. In the beginning, the authorities only imposed punishments on a few individuals, which were considered light at the time, but in 1972, significant prison sentences were also imposed. In 1973 and 1974, they tried to prevent street demonstrations as a preventive measure. During 1972, disciplinary sanctions were imposed on many students. The ministry in charge of education tried to coordinate disciplinary reprisals, and the process of retorts was regulated centrally. In the process, dozens of students suffered punishments, including expulsion.
