Orban, speaking to an estimated 150,000 supporters at a separate rally outside parliament, against criticized the EU, saying it needs to be more decisive with the economic crisis. Orban said that while Hungary accepts rules applying to all EU members, "we cannot accept anyone telling us what we can and cannot do in our own country."
Both rallies were held to commemorate the 56th anniversary of Hungary's anti-Soviet 1956 uprising.
