sourceFerenc Gyurcsany, the Hungarian prime minister, has said he will not resign as anti-government protests in the capital begin to abate.
In an interview published on Sunday, Gyurcsany said he still planned to seek his party's chairmanship next year and that the results of next Sunday's municipal elections would not affect his plans.
"Neither the government's actions nor what happens in the party depend on the final outcome," he told Hungary's Vasarnap Reggel newspaper.
"I'm going to fight for these policies and part of it is the modernisation of the Socialist Party."
Between 2,000 to 8,000 people attended a rally on Sunday, a far smaller number than Saturday when up to 40,000 people marched in Budapest demanding that Gyurcsany resign.
