Hungarians protest for second day against tax overhaul
Wednesday's rally again gathered outside parliament before protesters chanting "We've had enough!" marched across central Budapest
Several thousand Hungarians protested against Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government on Wednesday in the second day of anti-government rallies after lawmakers fast-tracked legislation sharply raising taxes for small firms, Qazet.az reports.
Wednesday's rally again gathered outside parliament before protesters chanting "We've had enough!" marched across central Budapest, temporarily blocking main traffic junctions and another bridge over the River Danube.
Zsolt Turi, one of the protesters at the rally, said his income would fall sharply under the revised tax scheme, set to take effect in September, which he called an unacceptable prospect.
"I will go into the black market paying the minimal social security, or I will grab my suitcase and leave for the nearest normal country," he said.
