Several tens of thousands of people gathered today in Budapest at the rally of the increasingly popular representative of the Hungarian opposition, Peter Magyar, a day before the elections for the European Parliament, reported the France Press agency.
"Together we can save Hungary. We are here and ready to change our destiny, the future that a thieving and autocratic power wants to impose on us," said the 43-year-old Hungarian to the crowd, who carried Hungarian flags and signs saying "Wake up Hungarians!" and "We are the masters of our future".
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban also organized a rally of his supporters in Budapest a week ago.
According to the latest polls, Orbán's Fidesz party could win about 50 percent of the vote tomorrow, but Tisa (Respect and Freedom), the movement of Peter Magyar, who claims to be neither leftist nor rightist, could get about 27%.
The Hungarian, a former high-ranking civil servant who launched a rebellion of sorts, burst onto the political scene in February, initiating a protest movement against Orban, the first of its kind since he came to power in 2010.
The Hungarian managed to take advantage of the anger of the population due to the scandal caused by the pardon of a man convicted of pedophilia.
