Another New Amendment to Law on Right of Assembly in Hungary for 'Rights of Non-Protesters'
- 7 Apr 2025 12:46 PM
The government is submitting a bill to parliament on taking into account the rights of citizens not engaged in demonstrations, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview with public radio on Friday.
"The right to assembly is important," Orban said. "It is good that everyone can voice their opinions, even in a forceful manner. But trapping thousands or even tens of thousands of people in traffic jams in Budapest and stopping them from in doing their jobs just because a few hundred people decide to shut down bridges and roads is not normal," he said.
"I thought the laws were clear that the right of assembly could not be exercised to impede traffic disproportionately, but a court order has allowed the closing of bridges," he said.
