The provoked provocateurs can't stand it: according to the police press conference, two people were detained on suspicion of violence against an official.

As we reported , on Friday the left demonstrated with student organizations in Budapest, and then some of the demonstrators marched to the Fidesz headquarters. After the demonstration on Kossuth Square, which started at 4:30 p.m. on Friday afternoon, a group of demonstrators - led by Bence Tordai - marched in front of the Fidesz headquarters, but both sides of Lendvay Street were closed by the police.

The police reports revealed that the illegal assembly took place in Lendvay Street

"aggressive participants threw various objects at the police queue wall. The protesters also threw iron screws."

The protesters started to push and shove the police line and tried to break through it, while also throwing bottles. The police were constantly provoked verbally and physically, the police wrote.

In connection with this, BRFK held a press conference on Saturday morning. As Lt. Col. Gergely Fülöp explained, the night's events prompted the police to hold this extraordinary press conference. On Friday, a legally announced meeting took place in the afternoon, which started on Kossuth Square and ended on Oktogon. He explained that after the rally, a group of protesters continued towards Hősök tere, where a line of police blocked their way in the inner streets. He explained that the participants of the meeting began to provoke the police verbally and then physically. He said that the protesters

first they threw paper airplanes, then a full beer can was found, as well as a metal thermos and an iron screw.

In addition, they poked and prodded the police with a fishing rod and a broken flagpole. The crowd, consisting of a few hundred people, continuously tried to break through the police line in a coordinated manner for an hour, explained the lieutenant colonel. The increasingly aggressive attack would have laid the groundwork for the use of coercive tools regulated by the Police Act, but the police "showed enormous patience" and restrained the several hundred enraged people with physical force.

False information about the police action began to spread on some portals, reflecting on which the lieutenant colonel explained that his colleagues acted as humanely and legally as possible. Four people were lifted from the crowd, and the crowd pressed them against the wall of the police queue. The lieutenant colonel explained that these four people were picked out of the crowd for their own safety.

However, two people were arrested on suspicion of violence against an official.

Also, additional reports will be made to the Central Investigative General Prosecutor's Office due to group violence against an official. As he said, the demonstrators also used pyrotechnic devices, citing a smoke candle as an example. A violation report has already been filed against a specific person for a violation related to a pyrotechnic product. At the end of the press conference, he explained that all recordings will be analyzed, based on which analysis it is possible that further procedures will be initiated. He said that the summation of all the measures has not been done yet, and a final number will be published tomorrow.
