Hungary Socialist PM Won’t Give Up Power

J.J. Jackson* | September 19, 2006 

Of course he refuses to let go of power. Liberals never cede power even when they are forced to admit their policies have failed. In their minds they just need more time to implement their plans and the people just need to let them try it for a couple more years, commit to the policies with more conviction and give up more of their own money to help make the utopia work.

Defiant Hungary PM refuses to quit after riots

BUDAPEST, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany rejected opposition calls to quit on Tuesday after anti-government riots he called the country’s “longest and darkest night” since the end of communism.

The riots, in which 150 people were hurt, followed the leak of a tape on Sunday in which Gyurcsany said he and his Socialist party had lied for four years about Hungary’s budget in order to win a general election in April.

Thousands of people took to the streets of Budapest late on Monday, occupying and setting fire to the state television building and fighting with riot police in the first such violence since communism collapsed at the end of the 1980s.

Higher taxes and fees for healthcare and university tuition had prompted protests before the release of the tape sparked the violent backlash, which weakened the Hungarian forint and other currencies across central Europe.
