BUDAPEST, April 21-- Just one week after a massive demonstration against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a second protest with the participation of several tens of thousands of people was held here on Saturday after Orban's third consecutive election victory on April 8. The crowd, of which the number was put at 100,000 people by the organizers, gathered in front of the parliament's building and took a march in the inner city of Budapest to hear the speeches at a podium set up at the foot of the Erzsebet Bridge. Organizers, just like a week before, were private individuals and civil organizations. In last week's protest, the demonstrators called for new elections. This time, the main objective of the event was the creation of unbiased and objective public media and a call for unification and cooperation between opposition parties. |
