National Day Gathers Hungarians 'Fed Up' With Government
Tens of thousands joined an anti-government rally organized in Budapest by Peter Magyar, a former insider of Hungary's ruling Fidesz party. The businessman addressed the crowd on March 15, marked in Hungary as a national holiday. Magyar stood out as a surprise critic of Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government after a presidential pardon for a child abuser's accomplice. A woman attending the rally told RFE/RL, "I'm fed up with the entire way they run this country."
