Hundreds of people protested outside the Slovak embassy in Budapest Wednesday evening against the Slovak police action against Hungarian fans in Dunajska Streda last Saturday afternoon. The demonstration was organized by Calvinist pastor Lóránt Hegedűs Jr. of the far-right Jobbik party.
He told the gathering that if the flags of foreign countries are banned from Slovak stadiums from December 1, then Hungarians should cut out the double crosses from Slovak flags, as that is a Hungarian rather than a Slovak emblem.

“the flags of foreign countries are banned from Slovak stadiums”
Nice to see a true Nationalistic Government in work! If only Jobbik would rule Hungary, then we would not see any Swedish flags when Hungary looses the next qualifing match.
The sooner we get rid of jokers of Swedish origin (this means you) the better.
the flags of foreign countries won’t be allowed on matches of slovak national league (as the one between DAC and Slovan was) so that hungarian riots can’t engage in provocations anymore. foreign flags will be expected to be present on international matches of course.
