MSZP leader detained in protest outside parliament

The Party of European Socialists has declared ‘complete support’ for the actions of the Hungarian Socialist Party, MSZP, in their efforts to protect the integrity of their national democratic system. Led by Chairman, Attila Mesterhazy, MSZP representatives joined in a protest outside the Hungarian Parliament. The protest put a spotlight on the attempts by the Hungarian Governing party, FIDESZ, and its increasingly authoritarian leader, Viktor Orban, to impose permanent party control over the banking system, the tax system and the electoral boundaries.
