CBC News Video: Overtime Law Sparks Protests In Hungary

The Budapest police (BRFK) has closed its investigation into a blockade of central Budapest's Liberty Bridge on April 22 and proposed the indictment of protesters on charges of "attempted disruption of a public facility committed in a group".
The police’s decision not to fine those who took part in last month’s Budapest Pride march is at least as important "when it comes to a regime change, what’s left of democracy, and the country as the day of the Pride march itself", independent lawmaker Ákos Hadházy said in downtown Budapest on Tuesday.
In a television interview on Monday, Prime Minister Viktor Orban called Budapest Pride at the weekend "not pride, but prejudice".
Love, freedom and diversity were the focus of the speeches delivered by speakers at the Budapest Pride event on Saturday.
