He wrote that “individuals and organizations affiliated with the so-called Antifa ideology have carried out numerous terrorist attacks throughout the European Union, including in Germany, France, and Italy.”
“This bloody far-left network has carried out brutal attacks throughout Europe, including Budapest. Suspects later avoided justice by finding refuge in EU states, to our great regret, Szijjarto said.
Szijjarto brought up Ilaria Salis, an Italian who, according to him, “gained immunity after becoming an MEP.”
Salis and other activists were detained in Budapest in February 2023 as they staged a demonstration against neo-Nazis’ annual commemoration.
She was elected to the European Parliament a year later, putting an end to her house arrest in Budapest.
In a letter to @kajakallas, I urged the EU to recognize Antifa as a terrorist organization in response to @realDonaldTrump’s example.

He claimed that “these abhorrent acts demonstrate without a doubt that the Antifa movement poses a serious threat.”
The foreign minister cited antifa’s recent designation as a “major terrorist organization” by US President Donald Trump as a justification for similar actions in Europe.
Szijjarto claimed that the government was “convinced that Europe must align its steps with the US, the world’s leading force in the fight against terrorism.”
In response to the widespread protests in the US in response to the killing of unarmed Black man George Floyd in May 2020, Trump also threatened to designate antifa as a terrorist organization during his first term.
