"Prime Minister Viktor Orban learned from the media that the editors of Magyar Hirlap and other well-known right-wing figures are organising a demonstration in support of the cabinet, his spokesman said. Peter Szijjarto said no decision has been reached on whether Orban will attend the January 21 rally.

Police have approved the proposed route of the march from Heroes Square along Andrassy ut, to Bajcsy-Zsilinszky ut and Alkotmany utca to Parliament.

Candles will be placed on Kossuth ter but no speeches will be made, said chief organiser and Magyar Demokrata editor Andras Bencsik.
