On April 21, tens of thousands of people took part in a demonstration in Budapest to protest against growing anti-semitism in Hungary.
The March for Life is held every year to remember more than half a million Jewish Hungarians who were exterminated in Nazi camps during the Second World War. However, there were more demonstrators, some of whom carried EU and Israeli flags, at this year’s event, which was organised in the runup to the World Jewish Congress, scheduled to take place in the Hungarian capital from May 5 to 7.
The Ministry of the Interior imposed a ban on a simultaneous demonstration by a far right motorcycle group.
