Hungarians Hold Biggest Protest, But PM Holds on
Protesters vowed on Sunday, September 24, 2006, to maintain their effort to topple Hungary's prime minister after their biggest rally yet, but analysts said Ferenc Gyurcsany was likely to survive despite admitting lying to win re-election. Some 40,000 people poured into Budapest's parliament square on Saturday after a week of demonstrations calling for the millionaire Socialist prime minister to step down. "Our protests will not cease until the cabinet resigns," said Tomas Molnar, a rally organiser. "We want to bring down the current post-communist government."
