Around 15,000 protesters filled a square in Hungary's capital on Tuesday (June 10, 2025) in what organisers called the beginning of a resistance movement against the government of populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Nearly two dozen public figures including writers, actors, musicians and journalists joined the demonstration in Budapest. Most of the speakers criticised what they see as the government's increasingly anti-democratic conduct. Some alleged corruption benefiting those with ties to Mr. Orbán's Fidesz party.
