There have been violent clashes between police and far-right protesters on the streets of Budapest.
The trouble began when nationalist leader Gyorgy Budahazy, who has been wanted by the police since disturbances began last September, was detained.

Police decided to clear the city centre using tear gas and water cannon as the crowd of demonstrators swelled.

Earlier thousands of supporters of the main opposition party held a peaceful mass rally to mark National Day.

There has been tight security, amid fears of a repetition of last October's clashes that marred the 50th anniversary of the anti-Soviet uprising.

The unrest followed Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany's admission that he had lied during the electoral campaign about the state of Hungary's finances

The Arpad flag is making a come back which is good IMO since its what should have been Hungaries flag for a long time.

This is the Arpad Flag..The Flag of the Arpads who conquered the Danube Basin in th late 9th Century and whose dynasty lasted from 1000-1301.

This is the version used by the short lived Arrow Cross Party...which ran Hungary as a puppet of the Third Reich from Oct 1944-January 1945.

So in the future those who care will know the difference and not fall into the simplistic Arpad Flag is bad/fascist/anti-semitic/etc nonsense that goes on.

Das ist interesting Duh!!!!

Thanks for history lesson!!1
