Overview
- A government decree orders a national list of Antifa groups, enabling financial sanctions, blacklists for associates, expulsions, and entry bans.
- Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said action was needed before any crimes occur, calling Antifa and its subgroups terrorist organizations.
- The step follows President Donald Trump’s directive days earlier to designate Antifa and to investigate and disrupt its alleged networks.
- Implementation details remain unclear given Antifa’s lack of unified structure, a point underscored by civil-liberties advocates.
- The Dutch parliament will review a comparable classification at Geert Wilders’ request, while Germany’s AfD leaders have previously urged a similar path.
