HUNGARY: people march to protest PM Orban’s anti-Roma campaign

On Sunday 23 February, more than two thousands people marched to the Parliament against the refusal of the Hungarian government to pay compensation for Roma children who were segregated and denied education in the east of the country. Among the protesters, Roma families and civil society groups.

Orban’s declaration in averting courts ruling is once more in line with the erosion of rule of law.
