Protests in Hungary

[dplax]

When we finally make the headlines on the BBC (albeit only for a short time, before the Thai coup arrived), it's all for the wrong reasons it seems...Basically the events in short are:

Hungarian prime minister admits in a speech in May, which has been sent to all major newspapers, that his part lied to win the elections

Some people think violence is the solution

Second violent night

Protesters are asking for the prime minister to resign, but on Monday a poll showed that only 43% of people wanted him to go, while 34% wanted him to stay. I usually don't mix with hungarian politics, since I find that one side is worse than the other, and I feel that no one deserves my vote...so I won't even say what my opinion on the whole issue is, I'll just give a big kudos to the PM, who after part of the story came out, published the whole speech on his blog, effectively admitting the lies, and not trying to hide them like many politicians in Hungary and other countries do. Doesn't mean I agree with his policies at all, I just find that he had guts to admit that.

On the plus side, there won't be any Russian armoured divisions the quell the uproar this time.
