Fidelitas vice-president Zsófia Koncz told a Wednesday press briefing that the activists had presented themselves as civilians “but in reality they were extremist, left-wing party activists” who with “their screaming and aggression” wanted to “destroy the peaceful holiday of tens of thousands of families”.

She said that they recognised among the protesters a Socialist activist and another from the Democratic Coalition.

Böröcz encouraged anyone who recognises agents provocateurs in future to e-mail their names and pictures to Fidelitas for publication on Facebook.

Fidelitas launched a Facebook page for this goal but it had been taken down by the afternoon.
