“From Pittsburgh to Budapest”: Hungary To Play Host To (Another) Far-Right Extremist Meetup
(www.bellingcat.com)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Acts that explicitly promote racism, antisemitism and violence, and some who are linked to international neo-Nazi networks banned in several countries, will take the stage at an undisclosed location.
As Bellingcat has noted in our previous investigations on ‘White Boy Summer’ in Finland and ‘European Fight Night’ in Hungary, the Hammerskins have been described as “the most violent and best-organised neo-Nazi skinhead group in the United States.”
In 2020, one of the bands which Condor is a member of — and one slated to perform in Budapest — released an album featuring a photo of American neo-Nazi Robert Jay Mathews emblazoned on the packaging art, with the word “Sacrifice” underneath.
A song, titled “Day of the Rope,” on this same release is a reference to The Turner Diaries, the 1978 white supremacist novel that has inspired acts of far-right extremist violence, including the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing that killed 168 people.
The song, as well as others on the album, contains racist and antisemitic language and explicit calls to violence, including the threats “got you in our scope” directed at Jews and “journalist scum won’t be spared the garrote.”
One of the Polish bands’ releases features songs with titles like “Rahowa” — an acronym for ‘racial holy war’, a white supremacist slogan — and “Crew 28”, a reference to Blood & Honour.
