BUDAPEST, Oct 26 (Reuters) Several hundred protesters blocked some of Budapest's busiest traffic arteries Friday and called on Socialist Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany, who last year admitted in a leaked tape of having lied about the state of the economy to win re-election, to quit.

Police attempted to push the protesters, many of them carrying flags associated with the far right, away from the city centre but did not clash with the demonstrators.
