DK to stage demonstration against 'Orban regime'

The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) will stage a demonstration "for a European Hungary" on Sunday in coordination with the Socialist Party, a DK spokesman said on Thursday. The European Parliament "delivered the Orban regime a historic defeat" by approving the Sargentini report which concludes that Hungary is in danger of breaching the European Union's core values, Zsolt Greczy told a press conference. He said Prime Minister Viktor Orban had been defeated in Europe but the Hungarian people were the winners, he said. The demonstration will be staged to make it clear that "the fight for a European Hungary is not over ... On the contrary, it's just about to get started." The spokesman said DK was in talks on joining forces with the Socialist Party, which also plans to hold a demonstration on Sunday.
