Several thousand protesters gathered in front of Hungary's parliament on Saturday to denounce the 2010 budget which they said would endanger the welfare of those already suffering during the economic crisis. The protest, organised by the centre-right opposition Fidesz, aims to stop what the party says is the "most dangerous budget in the past 20 years" and will endanger social services.
Fidesz, which all polls indicate will win an election April or May, has already said it would repeal or rewrite the 2010 budget if it comes to power. Hungary's Socialist-backed government aims to cut the budget deficit to 3.8 percent of gross domestic product from an expected 3.9 percent this year as per its agreement with the International Monetary Fund, which rescued the country a year ago from financial collapse.
