The protest was led by Peter Magyar, a former government insider who plans to challenge Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party.
Thousands of people have taken to the streets in downtown Budapest to protest against the government of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
The protest on Saturday was led by Peter Magyar, 43, a former government insider turned critic who used to be married to Orban’s ex-justice minister Judit Varga.
Magyar has said he also plans to challenge Orban’s Fidesz party by eventually launching his own, pro-European Union political party.
On Saturday, reports said more than 10,000 people were expected to join the demonstration.
Protesters marched towards Hungary’s parliament some of them shouting, “We are not scared” and “Orban resign!”
