Almost all those who voted in a referendum in Hungary on Sunday rejected EU migrant quotas, but the turnout was too low to make the poll valid. Only around 40% of eligible people cast a ballot falling short of the 50% threshold. Nevertheless the country's hardline right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban said the result can not be ignored by Brussels:
The Counter-Terrorist Centre conducted a bomb alert exercise at the Puskás Ferenc metro station from midnight to 2 a.m. last night. The TEK wrote in a statement that the exercise would include loud noises and flashing lights. Vehicle and pedestrian traffic was restricted until 2 a.m.

The 4th Sekler Cake Festival, or the big Hungarian bake-off, will fill the heart of the city with the fragrance of heavenly 'Sekler cakes' once more this weekend. Chimney Cake, or in Hungarian Kürtős Kalács, is a typical Hungarian pastry, which is baked on a tapered cylindrical spit over an open fire. It originates from Transylvania. The name derives from the Hungarian words kürtő, meaning chimney or stove pipe, and kalács meaning milk-loaf.
Both Brussels and Budapest are claiming victory over the migrant quotas referendum - the former the low turnout, the latter that a majority voted against the EU, leaving both sides at odds. European Parliament President Martin Schulz had previously called the referendum plan 'absurd'.
One month from now, sixty years ago on 4 November 1956, a large Soviet force invaded Budapest and other regions of the country. The Hungarian resistance continued until 10 November, during which time 2,500 Hungarians and 700 Soviet troops were killed in the conflict. Below are key insights into what happened on 4 November 1956, over the next few days, and then afterwards as 200,000 Hungarians fled as refugees, with mass arrests and denunciations continuing for months thereafter.
