Thousands protest proposed constitutional changes in Hungary

Hungarians have protested by the thousands against proposed changes to their constitution that they believe will limit their democratic rights. International concern over the upcoming vote is growing.

Opponents of the proposed constitutional changes say they fear they will curb citizens’ democratic rights. This led to two days of protests in Budapest, the first taking place on Thursday with dozens of protesters. On Saturday, thousands turned out to voice their concerns.

The parliament is to vote on the proposed amendments on Monday.
