Mass demonstration in Budapest downtown: traffic, public transport changes
Hungarian influencers, YouTubers and, who is currently the most popular Hungarian singer, Azahriah, announced a mass demonstration on Budapest’s Heroes’ Square this evening to protest against President Novák’s pardon for a paedophile helper. The scandal resulted in the resignation of the president and the leader of Fidesz’s EP list, the former Justice Minister Judit Varga. Since the demonstration will be in downtown, traffic changes today in Budapest.
According to Blikk, a Hungarian tabloid, the demonstration and the arrival of the Chinese minister for public security will change traffic in Budapest’s 2nd, 5th, 6th and 14th districts.
The Hungarian influencers’ demonstration will start at 6 PM today on Heroes’ Square. In their joint statement, they said they were fed up and, regardless of political affiliations, as civilians, they would like to raise their voices for the protection of the victims, transparency and an honest social dialogue.
Due to the demonstration, there will be significant changes in Budapest’s traffic order. For example, it will be prohibited to stop on either side of Lendvay Street between the Rippl Rónai and Dózsa György streets, the Rippl Rónai Street between the Andrássy Avenue and the Szondi Street. Furthermore, you cannot stop today between 6 AM and 10 PM at the Széchenyi Square and the Pest Lower Wharf between Markó Street and the Margaret Bridge.
From 6 PM until 8 PM, the Heroes’ Square, the Kós Károly Promenade and the Zoo Promenade will be closed to traffic. Depending on the number of participants, the Dózsa György Street and the Andrássy Avenue may also become closed.
BKK will change the route of bus line 20E, which will not stop at Heroes’ Square. Services 30, 30A, 75, 79 and 230 will commute to Hermina Street on a different route. If the Andrássy Avenue is closed, buses 105 and 210 will also change their routes.
HERE is a map concerning the restrictions. Blue lines mean stopping is prohibited, and red line means the area will be closed to traffic.
There are street and square sections in Budapest where you cannot stop. HERE is another map collecting all those.

Prime Minister – Victor Orban – 15 years and what are our LIVES dealing with ?
WHAT and HOW is our country endeavouring to survive that GROWS more difficult by the Day.
Orban can’t revert back to the practice of fundamental DEMOCRACY that a CORE ingredient in its functionality is built on and around DIALOGUE.
Orban “exhumes” Power over Hungary practicing those of a Dictatorship.
Orban – the CRISICS – he is in personally and politically, he can’t make Peace Deals as this is NOT of his Diplomacy capabilities.
Orban – will POWER on which with what as a country we are enduring suffering living in and with at this point in time will WORSEN.
Orban has to be TAMED – moved on which HOPEFULLY we are seeing GARGANTUAN number increase of Hungarians who have accepted the way forward of there lives and of the FUTURE of Hungary, is NOT under the present “Besieged” Prime Minister – Victor Orban – his Fidesz Government.
We have been “Bruised & Battered” – shamed, embarrassed and HUMILIATED by this Victor Orban led Government.
It may be in the DNA of the people of Russia and China but it’s NOT in modern day 21st century Hungary, especially those born post 1989 – when we “signed off ” to be a DEMOCRACY.
Hungarians we should not be subjected to nor expected to live our lives under, that is, the OBVIOUS growing practice of a Dictatorship.

Is there something in the water. President Novak resigned. Minister Varga resigned. What an earth are they protesting. Yes, it was wrong to pardon the pedophilia helper. What would satisfy the mob, killing the helper or murdering the President and the Minister?
Hungary has one of the stringent sets of Child Protection Laws. It seems that these protestors were the same that protested when the Childrens’ Protection Act was enacted.
It is time to question the sanity of the protestors.
Maria. Do you really think Novak and Varga are the only ones involved in the scandal? If orban is involved, he and his “pro family” party should all quit. Fidesz is full with hypocrisy. If you are in favour of justice then you should be protesting as well instead of defending these criminals
A good first start!
What the hell is the minister for public security of the Chinese Communist Party doing in Hungary? Do people know what is happening in China?
I think there s something in the water – so called influencers will be driving the show and US gov, tech, and media will be moderating the show.
