| Additional information |
Kossuth Square in Budapest has been Hungary's most politically charged address for over a century — home to the Parliament building and the site of the 1956 massacre in which Soviet-backed AVH security forces opened fire on unarmed demonstrators, killing dozens. The square underwent a controversial reconstruction beginning in 2013 under the Orbán government, restoring its interwar appearance by removing Soviet-era additions, a project that drew sharp criticism from architectural preservationists and opposition politicians alike.
This commemorative 2000 forint issue was released as part of that broader rehabilitation effort.
