HHC position on the 11 July 2009 demonstration of the Hungarian Guard
The extremist right wing party “Jobbik” announced a demonstration to be held on 11 July 2009 on Szabadság Square, in the framework of which the re-foundation of the dissolved Magyar Gárda Movement was announced. The Police did not dissolve the demonstration. In the HHC’s view, the demonstration should have been dissolved, since it constituted a violation of the rights and freedom of others (on the basis of the above argument).
