Hungarians protest against constitutional changes

Around 30,000 Hungarians have protested against changes to their constitution which give the government more control over the media and the courts.

Protesters say the ruling Fidesz party is getting rid of democratic institutions and tightening its grip on power.

But the government says the amendments complete Hungary's transition from communism to democracy.

My wife is Hungarian and I've been warning her about what's going on here in the US and just noticed they're doing this over there too! They're doing it everywhere and the whole world will have to united in order to stop the globalists. No more of this muslim vs christian vs black vs white vs rich vs poor vs terrorists vs humanitarian BS. It's going on EVERYWHERE! Israelis are fighting their own government like the Egyptians and Syrians. The little man is being mistaken for the politicians.

This is bullshit. What this fails to mention is the protest of 100,00+ people on the side of the government against the EU. The EU has been harassing hungary through the media with reports like these that only tell half the truth, and economically by ensuring international ownership of its economy. example: the eu refused to allow the hungarian government to bail out malev. Look it up before you criticize.
