Protecting Xmas: Budapest Market 'Surrounded By Concrete'
Concrete blocks were installed around Vörösmarty square on 24 November by BRFK (the abbreviation of Budapest Metropolitan Police) to protect this world famous Christmas market in downtown Budapest.



They were installed as a security measure to protect shoppers from incidents such as the one in Berlin's Breitscheidplatz last year when ISIS linked Anis Amri, a Tunisian failed asylum seeker, drove a truck into the Christmas market there killing 12 people and injuring over 50 others.
