More than 5,000 people attended the rally organized by the Hungarian Solidarity Movement at Kossuth Square in Budapest on Saturday.
The demonstrators accused the government of corruption, inefficiency and lying. Calling for new elections, they also urged Prime Minister Viktor Orban to leave office. Elections are next scheduled for early 2014.
Viktor Orban represents a “lying, endlessly corrupt autocracy,” Solidarity co-founder Peter Konya said.
The EU is pressing Budapest to change controversial legislations on its central bank and judiciary, and even threatened to suspend vital EU funds to Hungary if Orban does not make budget deficit cuts sustainable.
