This empirical study is aimed at exploring one important social psychological aspect of two significant, politically motivated clashes that happened in Budapest in 2006. The multiple effects of these mass demonstrations can be detected even today. Both the 18 September 2006 event at the HQ of Hungarian State Television and the 23 October 2006 event in the inner part of Budapest gave rise to considerable and immediate interest across the whole of Hungarian society. The study represents the so called social representations both of the policemen and civilians who participated in the clashes. Through the results of this research the reader may understand the common interpretations – that have been created through social construction – of those who were involved in the events. Method: Some 42 interviewees were involved in the study. We used semi-structured interview-techniques. The texts were analysed according to the sequential-transformative-model, which combines both the qualitative and the quantitative techniques of content (text) analysis. Results: The groups have constructed some different representations constituting their interpretations relating to what happened there in Budapest, as well as how and why. Finally, the shared constructs constitute the partly differing realities of the members of those groups. Conclusion: The existence of those realities outlines the definitive aspect of the process of social construction, namely, it depends fundamentally on the nature of the social relations in which the actors are positioned, which in turn, through the perspectives taken, influences the process of applying different meanings and explanations to events that appear to be the same.

This study analyses the events in Bogotá, Colombia, in April 9, 1948, aÝer the assassination of the popular liberal political leader Jorge Eliécer Gaitán. It is based on testimonies and memories of persons present in the Colombian capital on that day. It also pays attention to relationship between Liberal and Conservative Parties and their decision about the future direction of the country. Two centres of power were created in Bogota on that day. First of them was the Central Clinic, where the liberal representatives met to agree on the next steps to be taken against the Conservative government. Presidential Palace, in contrast, became the center of the Conservative Party and then the place of negotiations between the Liberals and the Conservative government. The study further analyzes the confused situation in the streets of Bogotá on that fateful day

Studie analyzuje situaci v kolumbijské Bogotě poté, co zde došlo 9. dubna 1948 k zavraždění populárního liberálního politika Jorgeho Eliécera Gaitána. Činí tak na základě výpovědí a vzpomínek obyvatel hlavního města, přičemž si všímá nervozity, jež byla patrná mezi liberály a konzervativci ohledně dalšího politického směřování země. V tento den se postupně vytvořila dvě centra moci, kde se jednalo o dalším osudu Kolumbie. Prvním z nich byla Ústřední klinika, v níž Gaitán zemřel a kde se setkali liberální představitelé, aby se dohodli na dalším postupu. Prezidentský palác se naopak stal centrem Konzervativní strany a posléze i místem vyjednávání mezi liberály a konzervativní vládou o dalším postupu. Studie dále analyzuje situaci v ulicích města, kde docházelo k násilnostem a rabování.
