BUDAPEST, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of people gathered in front of the Hungarian parliament in Budapest Thursday evening, marking the fourth night of anti-government protest.

    Over the past four days, demonstrators in front of parliament had swelled to more than 10,000. They demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany, after he admitted in a leaked May recording that the government had lied to voters to win elections in April.

    The incident sparked the riots early on Tuesday, leaving around 150 people injured.
