• The "Critical Mass" biker protest for Friday was called off, the organisers fearing that it would be hijacked.

• Another Fidesz district major mad some strained noises against violence, fearing for votes.

• Meanwhile, more paranoid excuses from a right-wing leadership distancing itself only implicitely: a Fidesz speaker called for an investigation into whether secret service agents have been instrumental in creating the riots, as those "benefitted only the Socialists".

• Funnily, leaders of all prominent far-right faces not directly under Fidesz were sighted at the TV building (some of which have very strong personal differences): the two youth movements, a mad blogger, leaders of an anti-semitic far-right party (most of whose voters and part of whose cadre was taken by Fidesz), and a skinhead leader who a few years ago was sentenced for planning an armed coup (and whom I met and debated in 1994 when he was a counter-protester at a media independence protest).

But in Paris, the (very efficient) street cleaning staff are right behind the riot police...
