Coalition To Protest Outside Opera In Budapest
"The Democratic Coalition led by former prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány will demonstrate outside the Opera House on the evening of January 2 as a gala event is held to mark the entry into force of the new Basic Law.

Party executive vice president Csaba Molnár told reporters that after the elimination of democracy and the rule of law in Hungary, the country is proceeding toward state bankruptcy, yet the “junk” government dares to celebrate the single-party and illegitimate Basic Law at a cost of Ft 13 million.

Composer Béla Bartók, whose music will be played at the performance, left Hungary because of this type of exclusionist policy, Molnár said."
