Protesters to demand resignation of Hungarian politician for anti-Roma remark

Thousands set to gather in Budapest after Janos Lazar's remarks captured on video

Thousands of people are set to gather in Budapest to demand the resignation of a senior Hungarian politician, for making a racist remark against Roma people earlier this month.

Janos Lazar told attendees at a political forum that migration was not the solution to the country's labour shortage. Since there are no migrants, and someone has to clean the bathrooms on the InterCity trains," Lazar said Roma people would do the job, using an offensive slur in his speech.
