Live: Former Hungarian government insider leads thousands in Budapest protest

Hungarian opposition figure Peter Magyar leads an anti-government protest in Budapest on Saturday, 6 April. More than 10,000 people are expected to join in the demonstrations, which will be followed by a rally at parliament. The former Fidesz insider, who was married to former justice minister Judit Varga, has declared that he will launch his own political party. The country’s largest protests in years were prompted in February when preisdent Katalin Novak resigned after it emerged that she had issued a pardon to a man imprisoned for helping cover up child sexual abuses by a director of a state-run orphanage.
