Riots

over Hungarian PM's 'lies'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The offices of

the state television station were ransacked

 

 

 

Hungarian

police have used tear gas and water cannon to quell violent overnight

protests in Budapest in which buildings were attacked and cars set alight.

The clashes happened following a rally demanding the resignation

of PM Ferenc Gyurcsany, after it was revealed his government had lied during

an election.

The worst fighting came when protesters stormed the state

television building.

Dozens of people were hurt, including many police officers. The

city is now said to be calm.

It was the first such unrest to take place in Hungary since the fall

of communism and the establishment of democracy in the late 1980s.

An emergency meeting of the national security cabinet was called

for Tuesday morning. The main opposition party, the centre-right Fidesz, says

it will boycott parliament.
