Two Held For “Royal Wedding” Graffiti In Hungary
- 9 Sep 2013 9:00 AM
Police detained Szelim Simándi, a founder of the Together party, and fellow activist János Somlai on Friday after they wrote “Royal Wedding 2013” in English on a newly filled-in pothole outside the Buda church where Ráhel Orbán was to be married on Saturday.
Simándi said the stunt was an effort to protest against the use of public funds for the Orbán family event.
He told a press briefing that “a political expression of opinion cannot be treated as a crime.”
