Nearly 300 gipsies have been evacuated out of a remote Hungarian village where a three-day, far-Right “training camp” has been set up.

The gipsies, fled Gyongyospata, 50 miles from Budapest, after members of Vendro, a paramilitary group arrived .
The Hungarian Red Cross said it was the first time it had evacuated Hungarian civilians threatened by paramilitary activity since the Second World War. The far-Right Jobbik party won 17 per cent of the vote in a general election in the country last year.
Some 277 women and children were moved out in a convoy of busses Janos Farkos, deputy leader of the Hungarian Roma Rights Organisation, said that the village’s Roma population had felt “terrorised” by the presence of the far-right activists.
“The children had to be sent away this weekend because they wouldn’t be able to sleep at night,” Mr Farkos said.
Vendro’s website said it expected “all those who loved their country and wanted to learn basic self-defence and military training” to attend.
