Demonstrators staged a protest against the forthcoming visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the policies of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Budapest on Monday evening.
The crowd filling a 200-metre section of Rákóczi Road, a main thoroughfare, left the city’s Keleti (Eastern) railway station for the Western (Nyugati) one.
Protesters held up a poster with the slogan: “Putin Nyet, Europe Yes!” and the Beatles’ “Back in the USSR” blared from speakers. Police have cordoned off the route of the demonstrators.
