Politicians condemn Saturday's disturbances to the Gay Pride March

Following the disruption of Saturdays' Gay Pride March, Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány has called for a rally to be held on September 6th to protest extremist sentiments in Hungary. The prime minister has called for a meeting between Hungarian leaders to examine why a few hundred people can terrorize the majority, and to look into what legal means can be used to oppose them.

According to the prime minister, the far-right agitators falsely call upon patriotism, take Hungarian symbols away from the masses, and infringe upon freedom, an MTI piece at fn.hu reports. Gyurcsány continued that what happened on Saturday has been going on for years, that extremists disrupt people's right to self expression.
