Aug 17, 2020
BUDAPEST - The U.S. Embassy in Budapest warned on Monday that neo-Nazi groups should not be tolerated after two rainbow flags were torn down from municipals buildings in the latest anti-LGBT incidents in Hungary.
On Friday, a hardline soccer fan was detained by police on suspicion of tearing down a flag and burning it.
And on Sunday, Elod Novak, vice president of the far-right fringe "Our Homeland Movement" removed the rainbow flag installed to mark Pride celebrations from the Budapest city hall, and threw it into a rubbish bin. Police detained Novak.
The embassy said it was "deeply concerned" about the incidents.
