Thousands of people, including many teachers and students, demonstrated in Budapest on Sunday to protest against the policies of the government led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban and to demand salary increases in the face of galloping inflation, according to Reuters, Agerpres reads.

„Without teachers there is no future!”, „Orban, leave!” could be heard among numerous slogans, while the teachers, whose remuneration is low, consider themselves abandoned by the executive in the face of a ferocious inflation that reached 20% in September.

Nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban pledged on Sunday „to preserve the economic stability” of the country, while the European Union is sinking, according to him, „into a financial and economic crisis”.
