Last weekend, Hungarian police arrested a group of young people who, according to media reports, were planning an “armed action” on the Hungarian National Day on October 23.
Anti-terrorism units responded to information from a US Secret Service and took the suspects into custody near a beer bar. The news portal “Telex” writes that no sharp weapons were seized from them, only airsoft weapons.
“Protected persons” were targeted
The Hungarian government has now confirmed to the online portal ‘Index’ that an online group of young people had discussed a planned armed action in the near future. The target of this action was protected people. According to the Government Information Center, the Hungarian services have received relevant information from the cooperating American partner service.
The photos and information exchanged on the said online forum show that the youth behind the organization of the action intended to acquire and use weapons. October 23 commemorates the 1956 Hungarian uprising against the Soviet occupiers.
