Budapest is falling apart

It's hard to believe but easy to imagine the turmoil that engulfed Budapest last night. During my visit in July the oppression and desperation was in the air. The country is going through some serious financial difficulties. Lies by the Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany did not help the situation ,but it also did not completely cause the downward financial spiral. Regardless of the ruling party the people will continue to suffer. The damage has been done and the escalating budget deficit needs to be dealt with. However, with idiotic remarks,
"We did nothing for four years. Nothing," Gyurcsany said on the tape, made during a private talk with Socialist parliament members that was larded with crude expressions. Later he said: "We screwed up. Not a little, a lot.", I can see why Hungarians are enraged.(photo of The Parliament House or Országház, July 06)
