Hungary Sees Another Day of Anti-Government Protests

by Associated Press

   BUDAPEST, HUNGARY --

   Several thousand protesters have marched peacefully through Budapest
   for a fourth day to oppose laws introduced by the Hungarian government
   that critics say will restrict workers' rights.

   The protesters chanted anti-government slogans and braved sub-zero
   temperatures while gathered Sunday in front of parliament, where
   speakers denounced changes to the labor code that lawmakers approved
   Wednesday.

   The demonstrations have attracted participants from across Hungary's
   spectrum. They include members of Jobbik, which started out as a
   radical right movement and has worked to reframe itself as a "peoples"'
   party.
