Video Article: Pro-Government “Peace March” Held In Budapest
- 31 Mar 2014 9:00 AM
A pro-government event called Peace March organised by the Civil Union Forum (CÖF) was held in Budapest on Saturday, with crowds estimated at 440,000-460,000 by the Interior Ministry. Fidesz supporters from around all parts of the country started off from the parliament building to arrive at Heroes’ Square where the prime minister delivered a speech.
The marchers were met by protesters holding flags with images of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Russian President Vladimir Putin - a reference to Hungary’s agreement with Russia to upgrade its nuclear power plant -- along the route.
