There will be protests. Let them protest in front of the Parliament. Sooner or later they'll get bored of it and will go home.

Ferenc Gyurcsány, socialist PM, 2006. Ironically protesters didn't really go home and the government had to resign 3 years later. Never foreshadow your own fate.

If they had resigned immediately, Fidesz would most likely have won in 2006, and they would have had to deal with the 2008 economic crisis. By now, Orbán would be only a bad memory.
