Approximately 50,000 protesters gathered in Heroes' Square in Budapest, contesting the public consultations initiated by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, which they consider costly and partisan. The opposition, represented by the TISZA Party, denied allegations of tax increases and accused the government of disinformation. Orban claims that these consultations are a way to involve the population, but the opposition sees them as a form of propaganda. The organizers of the protest intend to launch a referendum to ban these consultations, which are funded by public money.
