sourceBUDAPEST: Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany denied yesterday that his country was in crisis as a far-right group led an new anti-government demonstration in Budapest following days of mass protests. "We do not have a crisis and if we did have one that would have have no influence on our (austerity) programme," the embattled Gyurcsany said in an interview in the German-language Financial Times Deutschland.
The Hungarian capital has seen a week of protests marred by violence after a Gyurcsany admitted to lying about the state of the economy to win re-election, in comments secretly recorded in May and leaked to public radio.
In other interviews published yesterday in the foreign press, Gyurcsany said his taped comments had been misinterpreted and argued that he still enjoyed the support of the Hungarian people.
