Watch: 1000’s Protest in Silence in Budapest Against 'Transparency Bill Amendment'

After a series of protests in the Hungarian countryside, Budapest was the scene of a silent protest organised by aHang.
In the capital, protesters gathered on Fővám Square last Sunday afternoon before marching silently across the Liberty Bridge. The demonstration was a symbolic act against a draft law that critics say is designed to silence dissent and restrict access to the press and NGOs.
"Our work is not subversion, but construction. It is not offence, but defence. Not betrayal, but service," stressed Viktor Szalóki, political director of aHang. "The government thinks it is dangerous to speak up for those who are not being heard. That I am working to ensure that everyone in Hungary lives in a healthy environment," said Enikő Tóth, the organisation's campaign director.
