BUDAPEST (Reuters) – Security guards ejected two independent lawmakers from Hungary’s state television building after they tried to read out a petition on Monday, a day after police used tear gas against pro-democracy protesters in Budapest. The two lawmakers were among about a dozen members of parliament (MPs) who spent the night in the state television building, in a continuation of their demonstration against the policies of Hungary’s right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Szel said she had also been ejected. “We wanted to have our petition read out,” she said in the video. Other lawmakers were continuing their protest at the building.
