Addressing the huge crowd, whistleblower András Horváth, a former tax authority official, demanded resolute action against corruption.

“We have come to bury not a government but a regime,” another speaker said. Participants chanted slogans including “Orbán out!”, “Europe”, “Democracy” and “Regime change”, and held up similar signs.

After the speeches, some of the crowd dismantled the iron fence separating Parliament from the square, and proceeded to the police line.

Later, riot police arrived and called on the crowd to disperse. Similar demonstrations were held in other cities both in Hungary and in other countries simultaneously with the protest in Budapest.
