   Dozens of people got caught-up in a brawl between far-right vigilantes and Roma in the village of Gyongyospata.
   Seven have been arrested.
   At least four were injured in the clash, one seriously.
   Tensions have grown since last week when almost 300 Roma women and children were removed from the village because vigilantes were training nearby.
    The melee started after CCTV footage showed a drunken man urinating near a street inhabited by Roma. Then a group of about 50 equipped with hand tools got into a fight with four men,  vigilantes called Vedero/"Defensive Strength".

BBC/

    Nearly 300 Roma were evacuated from the village of Gyongyospata in eastern Hungary because of a nearby far-right vigilante training camp.
     Police say the Vedero/Defense Force vigilante group has been patrolling the village since last month to prevent so-called "Gypsy crime".
     The 277 women and children were bussed to a holiday camp in Budapest.

23 APRIL UPDATE: 
    A spokesman for Hungary's government accuses its political opponents of staging an unnecessary "evacuation" of Roma women and children from the village of Gyongyospata.
     Zoltan Kovacs of the Hungarian Justice Ministry told the BBC that the so-called evacuation was "a clear-cut political provocation" and completely unwarranted.
