Hungary's prime minister says he will close his Socialist party's communist-era headquarters, the focus of often-violent protests this week.

Ferenc Gyurcsany made the announcement Saturday, before yet another protest rally began in Budapest. Tens of thousands of people were gathering in another effort to force Mr. Gyurcsany to step down.

A similar demonstration overnight ended peacefully. But earlier in the week, protesters tried to storm the Socialist party headquarters.
