“Hungary's economy has produced the best results in more than ten years, with the country arriving at the threshold of a great era of prosperity,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán claimed this Sunday. The opposition said his speech “lacked reality."

Both the governing party and the opposition parties held demonstrations with leading politicians speaking on the 57th anniversary of the 1956 uprising against the Stalinist regime. All speeches were geared towards next spring's elections.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in front of Hungarian Parliament in Budapest on Sunday afternoon for a demonstration organized in protest against anti-Semitic remarks by a radical Jobbik party MP's in the national assembly.
