Overview
- Several thousand European extremists marched from Buda Castle to Szomor, many in Wehrmacht- and SS-style attire with Nazi symbols and salutes, while groups such as Der Dritte Weg, Junge Nationale and the Identitäre Bewegung were visible.
- Authorities, citing a September 2025 decision labeling all ‘Antifa’ groupings as terrorist, prohibited the counter‑protest for the first time and dispersed an attempted gathering within minutes after identity checks.
- A coalition including MEASZ, VVN‑BdA, the KZ‑Verband Wien and the FIR held a Budapest press conference that police terminated after roughly 45 minutes with ID checks and photographs; organizer Attila Vajnai now faces potential proceedings.
- MEASZ conducted a separate remembrance with about 80 participants at the Danube’s ‘Martyrs’ Monument’ under police observation, while far‑right organizers staged additional rallies, concerts and wreath‑layings across the city.
- Activist Maja T. received an eight‑year sentence in the ‘Budapest‑Komplex’ case, her father denounced the process as a show trial, and both defense and prosecution filed appeals, with prosecutors seeking a longer term.
