Huge demonstration in Budapest, tens of thousands against Orbán cabinet – PHOTOS, VIDEO
Change language:
Demonstrators dissatisfied with last week’s general election results protested in the capital on Saturday afternoon, calling for a new “honest” election.
The demonstration, called “We are the majority! – Protest for democracy”, started in front of the opera house on Andrássy Avenue. Protestors made their way to Kossuth Square, in front of parliament, to hear speeches.
The organisers, who announced the demonstration on Facebook, wrote that “the election system of Fidesz and the government’s campaign of hate have squeezed the majority into a one-third minority”. They called for a recount of votes, a free press, a new election law and for the “opposition not to fight with itself”.
A number of opposition parties were represented at the demonstration.
The protestors waved the national colours, European Union flags, the stripes of the House of Árpád and banners they made themselves.
When the protestors at the front of the demonstration turned onto Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Street from Andrássy Avenue, the last ones were starting out from Liszt Ferenc Square, a distance of some 800 metres. Arriving in front of the parliament building, the crowd filled Kossuth Square, overflowing into neighbouring streets.
Speakers at the square called for solidarity and unity among democrats in the interest of freedom, democracy, the rule of law and freedom of the press. They also urged joint action by opposition parties to unseat the government.
Demonstration organiser Örs Lányi also called for unity to replace the government.
Balázs Gulyás, who organised an earlier demonstration against a proposed tax on internet use, said Fidesz had become “a party of lies, hate, fear and stolen assets”.
SOROS! With his paid off opposition pussy’s. They couldn’t even get the damn sign correct! HONGRIE!! Foreigner libtards are protesting in Hungary. Maybe we should do the same the next time a Libtard like in Brussels is voted in.

Such demonstration will bring to the situation like in Ukraine.
70% voted and the majority voted for Orban. A lot of these communist/Marxist/socialist activists, demonstrate but have issue with voting. They don’t vote. the election was democratic, sign up, vote and maybe things will change. Don’t vote, then don’t complain. It was the same with Brexit. Bunch of Marxists, anarchists, ignorants complained, marched, yet when asked how they voted, they replied that they didn’t cast a vote. Dumb!
It was a sunny day and people had nothing else to do than making trouble, It starts with one, follow by more and than it looks if all the Hungarians are angry with Orán/ Do YO

it starts with a sunny Sunday. It starts with one troulbemaker. It was said that they could become money, coffee a.s.o. if they join the protest.
What value has this? We know the same from Holland: ZERO. Only beautiful pictures
Bullshit, they just can’t loose. Do not believe everything you read. It was democratic. The government did not soot in the mass, as the “liberal” gov did in 2006 after Gyurcsány’s speach in a secret meeting, how they were lieing and steeling from people for 8 years. It was the opposit side, that side which now organizing this ridiculous behaviour. Grow up, and accept the oppinion of the majority in Hungary!
