Ungarn: Bei einer Gedenkveranstaltung zur ungarischen Revolution von 1956 erscheint eine „One Piece“-Flagge.

After seeing this flag in the media on messages about protests in Indonesia, Nepal and Morocco, I was already waiting for images of the Straw Hats Jolly Roger flag to appear in European protests!

About time someone started flying it! 😀

> [The Straw Hat Pirates‘ Jolly Roger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_Hat_Pirates%27_Jolly_Roger) is a pirate flag predominantly featured in the Japanese One Piece manga and its franchise, wherein it is used to identify the Straw Hat Pirates, the pirate crew featuring the series‘ protagonists, who often fight for liberation of oppressed people.

> It has become a symbol for youth-led protest movements globally such as the August 2025 Indonesian protests where people began using the flag in lieu of the national flag as a form of protest against the government, and the practice was emulated in other countries. Notably, the flag saw widespread use during protests in Nepal and Madagascar which overthrew their respective governments. The flag has also seen use in protests in other Asian and African countries, Europe, South America, and the United States.

the Drums of Liberation can be heard everywhere.

Just a small correction, it wasn’t a commemoration event. It’s true that October 23 is the anniversary of the revolution against the Soviet regime, but for years now we haven’t had any real commemorations, only campaign events. That’s especially true this year, since this was the campaign opening for next year’s election.
