A Budapest police intervention occurred during a protest organized by opposition members from the Momentum party outside the Media Service Support and Asset Management Fund (MTVA) headquarters, coinciding with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's regular Friday morning interview.

The Budapest Police Headquarters (BRFK) indicated that demonstrators obstructed entry and exit at the MTVA despite receiving multiple warnings from law enforcement.

Following several requests for the crowd to disperse, police conducted a physical intervention to remove protestors from the roadway.

The BRFK reported that 31 individuals were identified at the protest site, leading to the initiation of legal proceedings against 30 participants for traffic violations.

One individual faced additional charges related to misconduct concerning the right to assembly.

In their statement, the BRFK underscored their commitment to upholding the right of peaceful assembly and free speech while also enforcing relevant laws against unlawful behaviors.

During the demonstration, several protesters carried banners and engaged in various forms of expression, including painting their faces red and displaying Palestinian flags.

This action was perceived as a message aimed at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was visiting Budapest at that time.

Organizers had prepared questions and other messages they intended for Prime Minister Orbán; however, when they attempted to enter the MTVA headquarters, they encountered resistance from security officials.

As a result of the inability to enter, some protesters opted to affix their messages on a wall adjacent to the entrance, an action deemed unauthorized by the security personnel.

The morning protest has attracted further attention as more details about the gatherings continue to emerge.
