Based on a government decision, after 15 years, the last group of victims of the 2006 Kossuth Square massacre who have not yet received compensation will receive compensation, the executive director of the National Defender Service (NJSZ) announced at a press conference in Budapest on Friday.

Tamás Gaudi-Nagy recalled that in the case of 173 people, the court had previously found that they had suffered a violation of their rights because the police had illegally dispersed the Kossuth Square demonstration on October 23, 2006.

    In 2018, based on an agreement, the government paid compensation of 862 euros per person to the 120 people who were found, and this was approved by the European Court of Human Rights.

    At the same time, the NJSZ also initiated the compensation of the remaining 53 people, but their claim could not be validated in the Strasbourg court for procedural reasons, the executive added.

    According to the executive, the "Strasbourg Court, which is under the influence of Soros and left-liberals", applied a double standard to the 53 infringers when it rejected their claim for compensation citing procedural reasons.

    The payment of government compensation, on the other hand, shows that it was possible to convince the cabinet that the victims cannot become victims of "Strasbourg's arbitrariness", he said.

Of the 53 people, 13 were found. Based on the current decision, they can receive the EUR 862 compensation, and the others are asked to apply at the e-mail address njsz@nemzetijogvedo.hu or 2006jogsertettek@gmail.com

    Tamás Gaudi-Nagy asserted that the "left-liberal side" was dominated by the denial of mass violations of law in 2006.

    Klára Dobrev, candidate for prime minister of the Republic of Denmark, "didn't dare to lie" that during the events of 2006 many more police officers were injured than protesters, she said, adding that at least 200 of the civilians and 47 of the police were seriously injured.

    It is also a common lie on the part of Ferenc Gyurcsány, then Prime Minister and President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, that proceedings were initiated against more policemen than civilians, said Tamás Gaudi-Nagy.

    György Gőbl, the president of the Public Rights Victims Association, also asked the victims to indicate their claim for compensation.
