Protest against the new labour law in Budapest
People attend a protest against the new labour law in front of the Parliament building in Budapest, Hungary. Around 10,000 Hungarians protested in Budapest against a new labour law and what they see as the increasingly authoritarian rule of right-wing nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Sunday's protest, called "Merry Xmas Mr Prime Minister" by organisers, was the fourth, and biggest demonstration in a week by leftist opposition parties, student groups and civilians against Mr Orban's government. Trade unions also joined the rally. Protesters waved Hungarian and European Union flags as they walked from the historic Heroes' Square towards Parliament in crisp winter cold, holding up banners with slogans including "Don't steal" and "Independent courts!".
