The demonstration, organized by the opposition Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) party, drew a large crowd to the historic Jakab Palace, where demonstrators waved banners and voiced anger over what they described as excessive financial burdens imposed by the government. Among the speakers was Slovak lawmaker Alojz Hlina, who sharply criticized the government's fiscal policy. Hlina warned that the tax, which took effect April 1, threatens economic freedoms and unfairly targets entrepreneurs and professionals. Writing by Nur Zeynep Dukmen
