00:00 Tens of thousands of people gathered in Budapest on Saturday, in support of a former team member
00:05 who has become a critic of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and who intends to defy the
00:09 nationalist leader.
00:10 The demonstration was convened by lawyer Peter Magyar, who has been shaking Hungarian politics
00:16 since he stepped on the front of the scene in the wake of the scandal aroused in February
00:20 by a presidential grace in a pedo-criminal case.
00:23 A crowd of about 100,000 people responded to his call, on the Place Kosouthe in Budapest,
00:29 while the Parliament noticed journalists from AFP.
00:32 Many were waving national colours and signs that could be read "Hungarians are rising".
00:38 "We will take our country back step by step, and brick by brick we will build a sovereign
00:43 and modern Hungary", said Mr Magyar to the crowd.
00:46 He said he would soon announce the creation of a new party, which will be presented at
00:50 the European and local elections in June.
00:52 Mr Magyar, 43, is the ex-wife of a former Minister of Justice of Mr Orbán, Judy
00:59 Varga, forced to withdraw from public life following the presidential grace scandal
01:04 awarded to a man convicted in a pedo-criminal case who was released from prison.
01:08 Long in the orbit of the party in power, the Fidesz, Mr Magyar then separated himself,
01:14 committing himself to defying Mr Orbán's factory of power.
01:17 Last month, he published a supposed recording involving a prime minister in a
01:23 highly-mediaised corruption case, and called on the Attorney General to resign.
01:27 Mr Magyar's initiative must be supported because with the current opposition, he has
01:32 no hope of fighting against Mr Orbán, said one of the protesters, Léo Sabo, a 49-year-old
01:38 chef.
01:39 Tamara, 36, a sports coach who refuses to give her name, is still skeptical but she
01:45 came to do something, because it is unwise to see everything that this government has
01:49 been able to do without being worried.
01:50 Peter Nagy, a 20-year-old student, is ready to give Mr Magyar a chance, because the Hungarians
01:57 have nothing to lose.
01:58 According to a recent poll, a training created by Mr Magyar would collect the support of
02:03 11 to 15% of Hungarian voters.
02:05 Mr Orbán, who has multiplied the measures to restrict the freedom of the press and strengthen
02:11 his grip on the country, has been confronted since the case of the most serious political
02:15 crisis in his 14 years of mandate.
