Demonstrators are protesting the political culture in Hungary. They fear that the amnesty scandal will be an example of this culture and that more things will be hidden without people knowing.
A group of well-known Hungarian influencers called on people to take to the streets. They call themselves “frustrated, but very determined, opinion shapers.” They asked their followers to break out of their “political apathy.”
Tens of thousands of Hungarians responded to this call and took to the streets. They gathered in Heroes' Square and nearby Andrássy Street in Budapest.
“I don’t know exactly what we will achieve with this demonstration,” Zsolt Osvath, one of the organizing influencers, said during the demonstration. “But it is certain that we will no longer remain silent, and we will step out of the comfort zone of our computer screens.”
