"After President Donald Trump designated Antifa a terrorist group earlier this week, "the time has also come in Hungary" to do the same, said Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Friday on state radio. A conservative nationalist who is popular among Trump supporters, Orbán declared, "Antifa is a terrorist organization." Antifa is an amorphous left-wing movement that rose in prominence during the first Trump administration."
"Its name is a shortened form of "antifascism," though the group has drawn criticism from liberal Democrats for its disruptive and often violent tactics. Trump had announced Wednesday on Truth Social that he was "designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION." Trump added that he would recommend that the group's funding sources be investigated."
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on state radio that "the time has also come in Hungary" to designate Antifa a terrorist organization and declared "Antifa is a terrorist organization." Antifa is an amorphous left-wing movement whose name shortens antifascism and that rose in prominence during the first Trump administration. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social he was designating Antifa as a major terrorist organization and recommended investigating the group's funding sources. The practical effects of such a label remain unclear because Antifa is a decentralized domestic movement, and a 2020 label produced no follow-up actions. The assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk prompted calls on the American right for aggressive action against left-wing groups and their funders.
