Hungary – a Molotov cocktail thrown at a ticket agency in Budapest

In early April, a ticket agency in the 13^th quarter (considered the Jewish quarter) suffered a hit by a Molotov cocktail. The setting for this attack was an approach made by a young woman about two weeks ago, who wanted to buy tickets to the "Hungarica" band concert (a national-right-wing band.) According to her, the owner told her: "go buy you fascist tickets somewhere else," and asked her to leave the place.

On April 7^th, right-wing internet websites, primarily Kuruc.info, called youth enlisted with the right-wing movements to show up en masse at the ticket agency, as if to buy tickets to the controversial concert. The website and bloggers wrote that the Jewish owner and his gypsy employees must have not gotten the message. 'Let's show up there in hundreds the afternoon and see if they throw us all out.' Kuruc goes on to say that the ticket agency owners have made a big mistake and should now anticipate revenge, but they themselves are not worried since their bags are already packed and can fly to Israel the next day.
