Earlier, the party’s leader had called on DK supporters to show their colours at the demonstration. Szabolcs Kerék-Bárczy, a member of the party’s national board, told journalists that DK wants to prevent any violence, and this is why they were withdrawing Ferenc Gyurcsány’s request.

The DK politician did not reveal the source of the threats. Gyurcsány earlier encouraged people attending anti-government demonstrations to support their own organisations freely and to be “proud of this diversity”.

They should use party flags and badges to express their support, he added.
