Tens of thousands of Hungarians protested in Budapest on December 13, 2025, demanding Prime Minister Viktor Orban's resignation due to his government's perceived inaction regarding child abuse scandals. The protests, led by opposition leader Peter Magyar, were sparked by new allegations of abuse at a juvenile detention center in Budapest. Protesters marched with banners and torches, calling for greater government action to protect children. Magyar also released a 2021 report revealing widespread abuse in state-run care institutions. While Orban's government insists it is addressing the issue, the protests highlight public outrage over the handling of child abuse cases.
