Day 5
President Géza Békésy was highly annoyed by the limited but increasing pressure by the Lanlanian government, but still he saw not reason to change the plans. He was still convinced that the protest movement won't last long, as the opposition was too divided, by either ideological and personal differences, and most people would get tired and return home. Although many in the government and ruling party were concerned about the situation, the authority of Békésy in the Keszarian Liberal Movement was never questioned.
That evening, the Keszarian Senate, the Upper House of the parliament, where the Keszarian Liberal Movement held a 59 of 100 majority, passed a resolution that strongly condemned the opposition actions, and called protesters to accept the official results.
Day 6
Meanwhile, protests spread around Keszaria.
The Keszarian Communist Party, although it had denounced irregularities in the legislative election and many of their members attended demonstrations the days before, officially joins protests for the first time. However, their members seemed divided after Béla Sólyom, former General Secretary of the Communist Party of Keszaria from 1547 and 1555, had expressed public support for Géza Békésy in an interview the day before, warning about the dangers of “mass civil disobedience” against the state. Athough Sólyom, aged 92, was not officially a member of the party, he remained somewhat respected between their members as one of the last political leaders from the communist years still alive.
At the evening, Lázár Kádár, the leader of the Civic Democratic Party, announced that the Democratic Alliance and student organizations supporting the protests had agreed to call a 3-day general strike, starting next week, in order to demand the government an answer regarding the alleged electoral fraud.
Day 7
Protests continued to increase both in the provinces and main cities.
In the town of Teszrévyhaza, it was reported that Keszarian investigative journalist Nadia Castaneanu had disappeared. Castaneanu, an ethnic Carpathian, was well-known in the region as journalist critical with Békésy’s government, who had exposed a few corruption scandals by local politicians in the last years.
Day 8
The first day of general strike had only a limited success, as the number of protestors in Köszövár and Vízdél kept increasing. However, the general strike was a success in high school and the main universities, where the activity was almost paralyzed. Many students and joined people started to join the protests. Youth political participation was often low in Keszaria, with no such political participation by students witnessed since the last days of the communist regime.
Day 9
The participation in the provinces and smaller town seemed to decrease, while more than 100,000 were reportedly marched in Vízdél. The general strike, in its second day, showed a relative success compared the previous day, as professional unions -considered apolitical and even pro-government in recent years- joined the protests.
That evening, in the town of Újnagyváros, Minister Ákos Meszárös was forced to left an event in the Keszarian Society of History, a cultural organization, after being booed and scolded by assistants and a group of student who interrupted the event.
