Socialists to protest against Fidesz “interference” with elections

Budapest (MTI) – The opposition Socialist Party has called a demonstration for Saturday to protest against the ruling Fidesz party’s “interference” with Hungary’s election authorities.

The Socialist announcement follows a ruling by the National Election Committee, passed earlier on Wednesday, banning an event the party was planning for families for Sunday, simultaneously with the national referendum on migrant quotas.

In a statement, the Socialists have called on all other “democratic parties” to join the protest against the government “thwarting all opposition referendum initiatives and events”.
