CBC News Video: Overtime Law Sparks Protests In Hungary
- 18 Dec 2018 9:08 AM
Autumn will be "tough" in Hungarian domestic politics, independent lawmaker Akos Hadhazy said in Budapest on Tuesday, at a demonstration demanding the withdrawal of amendments to the law on the freedom of assembly, and against the adoption of the law on the transparency of public life.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) on Friday said Hungary failed to fulfil its obligation under the Rome Statute when it failed to comply with the court’s request concerning the warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrest.
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.
