Violent Demonstrations Erupt As Hungary Marks 1956 Uprising Anniversary

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY - OCTOBER 23: Demonstrators driving a 1950s-era tank they had commandeered drive through other massed demonstrators on their way to charging a police cordon during violent street protests October 23, 2006 in Budapest, Hungary. The country is officially commemorating the 50th anniversary of its bloody uprising against Soviet occupation in 1956, though protests turned violent in the afternoon as demonstrators sought to reach the Parliament building. Many Hungarians are angry that Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany has not stepped down, even though he was recorded admitting that he had lied extensively to the Hungarian public prior to recent elections.
