Happening now: neo-Nazi, Fascist and other extreme right groups from all around Europe (~300-400 people) gather in Budapest, Hungary for the so-called ‘Day of Honor’ commemoration. They are remembring WWII Nazi and allied Hungarian soldiers who were slain by the Soviets. THREAD. 
2/ Hungarian police tried to ban the demonstration, but a court ruling allowed them to gather.
Day of Honor was first commemorated by a neo-Nazi group called Hungarian National Front (MNA) who later turned out to be funded & trained by Russia’s GRU. index.hu/english/2016/1…

4/ The Nazis are actually under heavy police protection & cordoned off from anti-Fascits counter-protesters.
Again, lots of international Antifa groups are here, and Hungarian Roma (gypsy) organizations have also mobilized their members.
