Civil demonstrators form human chain around Parliament
Civil protestors formed a human chain around Parliament on the eve of the inaugural session of the new national assembly.
The members of the demonstration organised by the Facebook group named “Rule of Law” lined up along the side of the building facing Kossuth Lajos square.
The protestors waved the national colours, European Union flags and some the flag of the European Left party.
The demonstrators set up a stage in front of Parliament on which several participants gave short speeches.
