More than 5 thousand. people demonstrated in Budapest, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The demonstrators, who gathered in the center of the capital, shouted: “more democracy” and “Down with Orban!”
Demonstrators accused Orban of limiting democracy and move away from European values. As told EFE Zsolt Varady, one of the organizers of Friday’s demonstration, “Orban cynicism is the catalyst for such protests.” Opponents of the prime minister also criticized him for foreign policy, which he calls “the opening of the East”, and assuming a rapprochement with Russia and China – EFE says.
In an interview with AFP one of the protesters said Robert Gombkoto This is a worrying extent to which Orban’s government gives Hungary a zone of Russian influence. Other demonstrators criticized governments for Orban’s democratic deficit, excessive centralization of power and corruption. Demonstrators carried a subtitle calling Orban to leave and called for a follow-demonstration on Feb. 1, the day before arrival to Budapest German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
According to the polls the popularity of the head of government falls. In late November, the institute Median poll showed that only one third of Hungary’s Orban is considered to be a good prime minister. The popularity of the party falls Orban, Fidesz, which lost from October to the end of November in support approx. 900 thousand. potential voters, or 12 percent. electorate.
