At the EuroChallange Cup basketball match between “Szolnok Olaj” and the Israeli “Hapoel Holon” in Szolnok on Tuesday organizers didn’t let fans carrying Hungarian flags enter the sport center.
The request for the ban came from the Israeli team and organizers of the game slavishly complied with the request even without questioning the reason behind it.
When it became clear that organizers were not joking fans left the sport center and boycotted the game.
Fans are reported as having said “what kind of world are we living in when a foreign country can outlaw the national flag of the host nation? This is really humiliating. Do organizers realize that this is our country and not an ‘earth pile’ that foreigners can use any way they want?”
The head of the Budapest wing of nationalist party Jobbik György Szilagyi asked Interior Minister Sándor Pintér: “on what grounds did police ban the national flag? What kind of security risk did the national flag pose for Israeli athletes?”
