Tens of thousands attend protest concert in Budapest calling for political change
Share:
Tens of thousands of people filled Heroes' Square in Budapest for a protest concert aimed at mobilizing politically passive voters ahead of upcoming elections. The event was organized by the Civic Resistance movement to express criticism of Hungary's current political system. The large gathering represents an effort to energize opposition to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party, which has dominated Hungarian politics for over a decade through what critics describe as increasingly authoritarian policies and control over media and institutions.
