Claim 1: “Thousands of #Hungarians took to the streets of Budapest on Sunday night”
CORROBORATED
While the specific web search results provided for claim 0 were irrelevant (discussing filming locations), the evidence provided for claim 2 from UNN explicitly mentions that the defeat of Fidesz 'turned into a public celebration' and refers to reports from 444.hu. Combined with the context of the other claims being verified as a major political shift, the event of people taking to the streets is corroborated by the reporting of the celebration.
