Turbulent political events characterise Hungary in these days. On Sunday, 17 October a confidential speech by Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany was leaked and published on the Internet. It was a speech made by the Prime Minister on a meeting with the PM-s of the Hungarian Socialist Party in May 2006. He explained why he considers necessary to realise radical reforms in Hungary. He used many dirty profane words in his speech, and confessed that the government lied to the Hungarian people in the recent years, did not tell people the truth about the situation of Hungary. The publication of this material and the fact that the Prime Minister fooled the people led to immediate mass protests. On Monday, 18 September more and more people demonstrated in front of the Hungarian Parliament demanding the Prime Minister's resignation. By the evening the number of people was about 10 thousands. Most of the orators criticised the government and began to demand a new 1956, a new reckoning with Communists. (By using this word, the demonstrators usually meant the actual Hungarian Socialist Party and not our party). |
