	World Politics Watch \| Gyurscany's Conscience Should Count for Something
		Hungary's hip Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurscany has never been in hotter water, but he has never exactly been out of it, either.
		The leaked tape recorded Gyurscany in a private meeting last spring with fellow party members saying that he and his government had lied to the electorate "morning, evening and night," about the state of the Hungarian economy, which is in far worse shape than he or his Socialist party led on.
		His supporters like his shoot-from-the-hip style, they like that he keeps a blog (filled with personal anecdotes and political opinions), and they like that he is, in their eyes, a self-made man. They don't care so much that he lied because he confessed it, and was repentant.

		A nearby stone memorial to Soviet troops which ousted the Nazis from Hungary at the end of World War II was also vandalized.
		It seemed to confirm the worst accusations leveled at him by the center-right opposition during the campaign — that Hungary's state budget was on the verge of collapse and that Gyurcsany and his ministers were concealing the truth in an effort to secure victory.
		Throughout the campaign, the government insisted Hungary's budget gap in 2006 would be around 4.7 percent of gross domestic product, only for Gyurcsany to admit upon taking office for his second term that even with spending cuts and more taxes, the gap would rise to over 10 percent of GPD.

	Political lessons of the events in Hungary \| The News is NowPublic.com
		The events that shook Hungary last week should be taken as a political warning to the working class throughout Europe.
		The right-wing, pro-business policies of the post-Stalinist âSocialist Partyâ have underscored the absence of any political force on the official âleftâ that in any way defends the interests of the working population.
		The result is a political vacuum that allowed ultra-right forces to dominate the streets of the Hungarian capital for several days.

		It is the partial successor of the communist Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party (or MSZMP), which ruled Hungary between 1956 and 1989.
