PHOTOS: Masses of people protested against PM Orbán’s new “spring clean-up” bill in Budapest
University students staged a demonstration against the passage of a bill concerning transparency in public life, in front of Parliament in Budapest late on Sunday.
Veronika Móra, the head of the Ökotárs Foundation, said the bill was aimed to “ensure that only one voice is heard: that of the government”. “It is aimed to ensure that there is no diversity, there is no political debate, there is no press just propaganda, and there should be no citizens with their own thoughts or opinion,” she said.
Actor Tamás Lengyel said he wanted to live in a country “where teachers don’t need to take second jobs and where a doctor does not go to Austria for a better living, and where health workers, policemen and fire fighters are appreciated and where it is not party stalwarts that made decisions over theatres.”
Student activist Lili Pankotai said the country should be built on a love of the homeland “that does not ostracise you if you have a different opinion, a country in which the press is free and so are the people”.

Blah blah blah. A word salad that says nothing. They don’t even know what they are protesting. Their paymasters have been bleating about freedoms erosion and rights restrictions for years; yet, they are still 100% free to say and write and do whatever the heck they want.
Unlike in, say, Austria that the “actor” is quoted as mentioning; or most other West European countries.
What a bunch of clowns these protesters are. But, then, the China virus episode showed us all how easily manipulated and brainwashed people allow themselves to get.
Can you be more specific?
I don’t understand what you mean with regards to Austria and “the China virus.”
The “pseudonym” commentators under the “veiled” name of Michael Steiner, being ALL members of the Orban led Fidesz Party – commentary contribution again on the subject of this article, continues to personify, the LOST cause, the “narrowness” and “blindness” – the divorced from being DEMOCRATIC in their “thinking” process or what’s BEST politically for the FUTURE of our country – Hungary.
Saint Pope John Paul II – words “etched” in stone Hero’s Square in our countrys Capital City – “gifted” Hungary in August 1991 in his Pontifical Sermon at the open air mass on the 20th August 1991.
“Front and Center” row sat – Victor Orban and his Roman Catholic baptized wife.
Orban heard these words.
Orban has been a TRAITOR to these words.
Orban has “used and abused” millions of Hungarians.
Orban – has DELIVERED our country into a “new age” abyss, that it’s nadir end, as long as he remains – his Fidesz Party the Government of Hungary, will WORSEN.
Saint Pope John Paul II said ;
” Be Mindful of the Blessings Hungary, that Freedom, which you have Definitively SECURED means to your FUTURE.
Cherish it and make Good use of your Liberty.”
Pope Leo XIV – the Roman Catholic Cardinal – Peter Erdo – his SUPPORT his FRIENDSHIP of Victor Orban that is REVERSED from the “message” growing out of the Pope Leo XIV that of Freedom, Liberty of Free Voice – to “build” bridges – the need of in DIALOGUE being the “Core” of DEMOCRACY to talk TRUTH,
if you really seek PEACE work for Justice.
Erdo & Orban – are BEING rightfully CHALLENGED and as Hungary declines, pre the Spring of 2026 – the Hungarian Cardinal – Peter Erdo, will be from the Vatican – Humiliated.
Hungary needs to obey the EU and put boots on the ground in Ukraine. The EU seems to be having trouble with other members to go along. I understand the protesters seem to have no clue what is going on in the EU and the world.
