STORYLINE:
Hungarian police have compared those behind the two nights of violence in Budapest to football hooligans.
Arpad Szabadfi, the deputy chief of the national police said Wednesday most of the 137 detained since the first violent protests Tuesday were "all younger and can be compared to typical football hooligans in Europe."
Small in number but violent in nature - a radical fringe of extreme-rightists and football
hooligans has brought anarchy to Hungary for two nights running, and left Budapest streets looking like a battle zone.
While outrage is high over Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany's leaked confession that his government lied to the people about Hungary's dire economic state, the overwhelming majority has protested peacefully.
Gatherings of 10,000 people in front of Parliament on Tuesday and Wednesday ended without major incident.
Still, police have had their hands full with smaller groups, several thousands who first
besieged the state television building and then early Wednesday tried to storm Gyurcsany's Socialist party headquarters.
Some of those involved in the violence were readily identifiable. Their flags and other symbols linked
them Hungary's extreme-nationalist and anti-Semitic movement.
But most seem, according to the local authorities, to be football fans- disenfranchised
youth with no future and no ideology, other than causing trouble.
However, one protestor at parliament raised echoes of a dark period in Hungarian history when the anti- Soviet Union Uprising was brutally crushed in 1956, "Just like 50 years ago the government is lying to us day and night."
