Hungary Roma battle far-right vigilantes
Far-right vigilantes have clashed with Roma (Gypsies) in a village in north-east Hungary where ethnic tensions escalated last week.
Hungarian media report that fighting erupted after Vedero ("Defensive Strength") uniformed paramilitaries hurled stones at a Roma house.
Far right groups have staged "public order" patrols in Roma areas recently.
The groups allege that such patrols are necessary to crack down on crime.
Police reinforcements have gone to Gyongyospata since the clash on Tuesday night, the Magyar Hirlap news website says.
Last week Hungary's government accused political opponents of staging an unnecessary "evacuation" of Roma families from the village
