Thousands of Hungarians gathered outside the headquarters of the state-run media corporation MTVA to protest what they describe as government-controlled propaganda.
The demonstrators, led by opposition leader Péter Magyar of the TISZA party, are calling for greater press freedom and an end to biased reporting funded by taxpayers. Critics argue that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government has systematically eroded media independence over the past 15 years.
The protest highlights growing discontent with the nationalist government's control over public discourse.
