BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Thousands of protesters demanded the ouster of
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government Sunday, a day before a
visit by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Around 3,000 people attended the "Spring Comes, Orban Goes" rally outside parliament.
"We
want to show that the country is not equal to Orban, that the majority
does not support his policies going closer to Vladimir Putin," said
rally organizer Balazs Gulyas. "The majority of the people want to be in
the EU."
Orban's dealings with Moscow, including an agreement
for Russia to build new reactors at Hungary's nuclear power plant and a
loan of 10 billion euros ($11.3 billion) to help finance the project,
are expected to be on the agenda for the meeting between the Hungarian
and German leaders.
