During a news conference in Strasbourg, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban faced a protest from activist Marton Gyekiczki, who disrupted his speech by throwing what appeared to be banknotes, accusing him of selling out to foreign powers like Russia and China.
The incident highlights the discontent with Orban's government, which many see as antagonistic to democratic values, especially amidst rising tensions with the EU over Hungary's political maneuvers and democratic backsliding.
Following the protest, the Democratic Coalition party's president expressed pride in Gyekiczki's actions, declaring that Hungary has a 'traitorous government' while urging people to voice their dissent against Orban's administration.
As Orban prepares to address the European Parliament, the disruption raises critical questions about Hungary's presidency of the EU and its strained relationships within the bloc, especially regarding issues of governance and international alliances.
