Day 15
There were rumours that the police may attempt to clear the square once again early in the morning. However, the police was given the order to retreat. Opposition claimed that 200,000 joined the protests that afternoon.
It was reported that morning that Nadia Castaneanu had been murdered and beheaded, after her head was found nearby a forest, six miles from her own home.
Day 16
The Democratic Alliance announced, after talks with student organizations and other opposition organizations, the creation of the “National Committee of Democratic Restoration”, aimed to coordinate actions and proposals toward the “restoration of democracy and rule of law”, as they described it, in Keszaria.
Late in the morning, the National Committee of Democratic Restoration issued a statement in which they blamed President Géza Békésy for the violence and deaths in recent days, and demanded his resignation. The statement was received with a huge applause in Szuverén square. The government denounced the creation of the National Committe of Democratic Restoration as an attempt to “usurp the power of the legitimate government of Keszaria”, and threatened with legal actions against anyone who joined it.
Day 17
The session in the Vízdél city council was interrupted, with Keszarian Liberal Movement deputies -including the mayor- forced to leave and escape from the backdoor. Álmos Bakó, a young opposition activist, who became one of the most active and popular leader of the protests in Vízdél, proposed a “March to Köszövár”, in which thousands of protestors will march from Vízdél to the capital city, Köszövár, collecting signatures demanding either the resignation of President Géza Békésy or his impeachment by Keszarian parliament in their way to the capital.
It was reported by local media in Köszövár that former and current members of the Keszarian armed forces have joined the rallies against the government for first time since protests started.
Day 18
Former candidates from the Keszarian Liberal Movement, including Judith Bátory, who was Minister of Education from 1582 to 1587, signed an open letter asking for a repetition of the elections as a way to solve the present crisis.
Martin Grosz, mayor of Köszövár, announced he was willing to meet with representative of the protesters, in order to explore a peaceful end to the situation, becoming the first Keszarian Liberal Movement to meet with memberes of the opposition since the beginning of the protests.
The National Committee of Democratic Restoration accepted Grosz’s proposal, despite they had demanded his resignation two days before. The meeting was going to be held that evening in the Ministry of Agriculture. Before meeting the opposition, it was reported that Grosz met with Vice-president Deszö Kerekes in a meeting which lasted at least two hours.
Lázár Kádár, the leader of the Democratic Alliance, and businessman Árpád Meggyesfalvi, who had joined the National Committee of Democratic Restoration, finally met mayor Martin Grosz that evening in the ministry building. The meeting lasted only about twenty-minutes, and failed to achieve anything, as Martin Grosz walked out of it and accused the opposition of blackmail and denouncing the Democratic Alliance of plotting a cynical attempt to overthrow the government through a “pseudo-constitutional coup d’etat”.
Lázár Kádár declared to the media, who were waiting in front of the ministry building, that he was “dissapointed” but that the meeting showed “that the Keszarian Liberal Movement” has no interest in the truth or to correct their wrongdoing”, and therefore they must “leave power immediately”. As he finished his conversation with the media, which included many foreign reporteres, Lázár led a group of supporters from the Ministry of Agriculture to the Szuverén square to decide new actions, as the next day it was expected that the national parliament would hold its firs session after the elections.
It was expected that the National Committee of Democratic Restoration was going to announce their boycott of the inauguration of the National Assembly the next day. However, Lázár and Árpád Meggyesfalvi were stopped by the police nearby Szuverén square. Keszarian police then threw stun grenades to the protesters who went marching along Lázár and Meggyesfalvi, arresting them, followed by mass detentions of protesters in Szuverén square, including several opposition lawmakers and two members of the National Committee of Democratic Restoration.
Before midnight, at least 400 protesters had been arrested. Keszarian police issued a statement saying that Lázár and other opposition lawmakers had been detained for 72 hours and criminal charges may only be brought against them if the National Assembly strips them of their parliamentary immunity.
