The biggest demonstrations ever against the modification of the assembly law took place in Budapest on Saturday. The march of the Peace of the Hungarian Dog Festival with two tails was apparently against diversity and for uniformity, with participants dressed in gray. But the real message was that government policies are exclusive and harmful.
Participants walked along the Road of Peace Marche behind a banner reading illiberal pride, which, seen on a map, particularly resembled the male genitals. A participant explained to Euronews why he came to the event:
“I think our rights are removed and I think we have to defend this for what is happening. Because I have to grow up in this country, I have a little brother, he must grow up and if I want to have children, I want to raise him here. And I would like them to have rights in the future, and if they decide to do what they want with their life, they can do it.”
The government party protested against the Tisza party in Buda
Meanwhile, supporters of the government organized a demonstration in Buda Millenáris park about a discourse from the Tisza party party, the Urgence deputy Kinga Kollár, that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán compared to the speech of Ferenc Gyurcsány in Kremlin. Kollár spoke at a meeting of the EP Committee in Brussels to the effectiveness of the retention of the EU funds in Hungary, while the deterioration of living standards in Hungary strengthens the opposition.
The speakers of the demonstration, the publicists of the Zsolt Bayer and Bénce Apáti government, as well as Gergely Gulyás, the Minister responsible for the Prime Minister, called the words of Kollár “unacceptable” and similar feelings were taken up by the participants in demonstration. One of them told Euronews:
“This country of ten million people is incredible how many uninformed and bad people he carries on his back. And when the two meet, he destroys the countries. This is why we are here now, whatever the party. I came from the countryside.”
On stage, Zsolt Bayer called the Party President Tisza, Péter Magyar, paid agent of Brussels, and Gergely Gulyás called him a traitor.
