Video: Hungarian MP Interrupts PM Orban's Speech In Parliament Using 'Lies' Sign
Opposition MP Ákos Hadházy showed two signs that read: "He must lie because he stole too much", and "Stop propaganda, stop corruption".



Hadházy chose to hold his protest during the first plenary session since Hungary's municipal elections, in which Fidesz lost the capital.

PM Orbán was talking about European policies and the "errors", as he put it, of the EU Commission on economics and immigration.

When interrupted he suspended his speech and tried unsuccessfully to grab the signs.
