100,000 march in Hungary pro-government rally

None

About 100,000 sympathizers of Hungary's government are marching to parliament in support of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has come under heavy criticism from the European Union for laws seen as curbing democracy.

 

Seeking financial assistance from the EU and the International Monetary Fund, Orban this week said changes would be made to some of the laws which have prompted threats of court action by the EU and were approved last year by his party's two-thirds majority. (AP)
