Barrier protecting Hungarian MPs to be partially removed
"The cordon set up on the grounds of Parliament to protect the House and MPs on September 18 will be pulled down," deputy to the commander of the Republican Regiment Brig. Gen. Imre Kardos announced yesterday.
Kardos said "the barrier will only be dismantled around the Rákóczi and the Kossuth statues and will be erected again if demonstrations necessitate this."
