a rowdy parliamentary session last week when victor or bans government tightened its grip on the judicial system the husbands will now be independent and that weekend employment rights described as a slave law by critics. the moves incensed opposition parties and rallied a massive backlash. and. we don't want to go back to the communist times. what we are experiencing now in hungary wasn't seen during communism. it's level of oppression and corruption. something must be done this cannot go on. the despite the crowd viktor orban remains a popular figure among tongue guerin's but if these protests are anything to go by a vocal section has had enough. let's cross over to journalist stuff on

at day really now are demanding more than only to slave law it has been expanded to all the areas such as said demands for a free media day for instance and resold it also doing tonight a neutral state television and said day say so far that he's not the case they really view state television as orbit on television so. i think that is really what's want to be seen now and also people really want an independent judiciary because they say the change his stance the happened in recent days impacting the court's old still makes it to difficult to fight for our rights to effect prime minister viktor orban will now have full control over for instance cases such as corruption and police abuse so that is a concern as well. i'm sure that viktor orban would describe the labor law reform not in terms of of slave laws but something else but otherwise the government
12:06 pm
really hasn't been responding much to these protests is the government simply waiting for the protests to peter out or do they have a strategy. yes indeed and of course that the slave lawyers hold critics call it they call it labor force and yes i think it a he is waiting really. to see what will happen already government has described it to people here as a mercenary soul for george soros the entropy supporting rinses the central european university and author rights initiatives but of course he and his organization have to united now i think lots of prime minister isa is waiting for how much momentum. groups will really get and whole many people will go on the streets well these by typical we have seen already thousands of people gathering and and i think also you can behind me just
