Few people attended the demonstration announced by Viktor Orbán
A small crowd gathered in Budapest for a demonstration announced by former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The purpose of the protest was to oppose the initiative aimed at removing the head of state from office.
The political event stems from tensions surrounding the position of the head of state. Current government efforts are aimed at removing the head of state, which has sparked sharp debates in Hungarian public life. In social media and public statements, Viktor Orbán had asked his supporters to stand by the head of state.
Although the call became widely known, the number of people who appeared at the scene fell short of expectations. According to political analysts, the low turnout shows that the issue currently moves fewer people, or that voters are more cautious about street demonstrations of this type.
The protest took place peacefully, without any major incidents. The government side has not yet commented on the demonstration in detail, and the process regarding the removal of the head of state is scheduled to continue in parliament. Further debates on the matter are expected to take place in Hungarian political life in the coming weeks.
