On the day marking the anniversary of the 1848-49 revolution and war of independence from Habsburg rule, thousands--perhaps 15,000 or more--of demonstrators in Budapest protested the controversial media law.
Protestors are unhappy with recent amendments to the law to bring it into line with the EU.
Adjustments set new limits over media based outside Hungary, redefined balanced coverage but do not eliminate registration of all media.
Some claim the demonstration was the biggest civil protest since 1989.
