Protests Against Internet Tax In Hungary Continue — Larger Than Ever

Tens of thousands of peaceful Hungarians marched again in the streets and on the bridges of Budapest on Tuesday — continuing the demonstration against the proposed internet tax.

According to Reuters, an estimated 100,000 people rallied at night to protest at a planned tax on data traffic suggested by Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government. By a more conservative estimate, about 50,000-70,000 people demanded the withdrawal of the tax proposal and this is how the mass looked in the capital of Hungary.
