Budapest, April 15 (MTI) – A demonstration organised by a Facebook group against government policies got under way in central Budapest on Saturday.

The protesters calling themselves “We won’t remain silent” gathered in Szabadság Square in the fifth district to hear speeches.

One speaker, Áron Lukács, declared their protest against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s “politics of fear” and government attempts to silence critical voices and organisations.

The square was full and the crowd was dotted with both Hungarian and European Union flags.
