Concert calls to vote out Hungary's Orbán ahead of elections

AP News — Apr 10, 21:12 PM

Two days before Hungary's elections, over 100,000 people gathered in Budapest for a concert urging citizens to vote out Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

The event featured over 50 bands, each performing one song critical of Orbán's nationalist-populist government.

The crowd, mainly young people, frequently chanted anti-government slogans.

The concert, organized by the Civic Resistance Movement, aimed to highlight dissatisfaction with Orbán's rule.

His declining popularity is linked to economic stagnation and corruption scandals.

The center-right Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, has emerged as a strong challenger, especially among voters under 30.
