The economy was struggling, as Hungary had to trade with the Soviet Union through Comecon on uneven terms, and often received unfair prices for their exports there. Protesters demanded free trade unions and for Hungary to develop trade links with the West.
Another reason was because of the oppressive Communist government. The leaders of Hungary often played a dictatorial rule, and used intimidation and violence to keep control. There was no freedom of speech or press, and religion was discouraged. People protested for their right to freedom of speech and free elections, for an end to the one-party system, and for Hungary to become a neutral state.
