Hungary braces for strikes, blockades on overtime law
"If we look at today's statement by the Prime Minister and the fact that János Áder signed the bill into law, these seem to fully support the viewpoint of 80% of Hungarians, namely that there is a dictatorship in this country," Székely said in a radio interview. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán tersely said the new law would work.
In Székely's opinion, the premier decided to turn 4 million employees into slaves, to which trade unions will react with "very severe opposition". Strikes and blockades are to be expected in Budapest and other parts of the country.
The first phase will be a demonstration Friday evening, organised by the MASZSZ and opposition parties, with Székely warning of a "hot winter".
