Hungary civil groups rally against ‘Viktator’ president

Around 4,000 Hungarians rallied in Budapest Sunday against Prime Minister Viktor Orban, branding their leader a dictator after his right-wing government passed a highly controversial change to the constitution.

Protesters carried EU and opposition party flags and held banners dubbing the prime minister “Viktator”.

The rally, which was organised by civil group Milla (short for “One Million for Press Freedom in Hungary”), was moved from Friday, Hungary’s national day, when snowstorms paralysed much of the country.
