Leaked Tape of Hungary PM Admission Stirs Massive Protests

HeadlineSep 19, 2006

In Hungary, massive protests were held Monday following the release of a secret recording in which the prime minister admits to lying about the economy. On the tape, Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany is heard admitting he lied: “morning, evening and night” to win elections in April. Hundreds of people took the streets to demand his resignation. A group of protesters briefly occupied Hungary’s state television station before being driven out by police. The Prime Minister has not denied making the statements but says he will not resign.
