Hungarian politics is a mess, but not that much of a mess. The rabid nationalist rioters weren't cheering on the lying government, they were hoping to topple it in a revolution. It was 'simply' nationalist protesters who cheered on the rabid ones.

Now what is a mess here using international political standards: it is the post-reformed-communist Socialists who head neoliberal reforms and align with Bush in foreign policy, while the right-wing opposition uses some altermondialist and anti-Bush rhetoric.
