Demonstration of support for homeless in Budapest The mayor of Budapest was due to make ​​public a list of places prohibited to homeless people on Thursday, in accordance with a new law on the homeless passed by the Hungarian Parliament in October. But a demonstration blocked the city council meeting. According to the government, the law seeks to protect some 30,000 homeless people in the country by bringing them into formal foster homes before winter. It was struck down by the end of 2012 by the Hungarian Constitutional Court, but the ruling majority in Parliament then amended the Constitution to include the new controversial text. Images and soundbites.
