- 22 May 2017 8:00 AM
Police on Friday put the lid on a demonstration by Ligetvédõk (City Park Defenders) that has been going on for months. The Liget Budapest investment project, in charge of the reconstruction of the park, was created in March last year and the community has been protesting against it from the start. Some of its members had camped on the premises.
Police launched criminal proceedings against three men for hooliganism and against two others for misdemeanours.
