Throughout the country, various gatherings are traditionally held on this day, and the American secret services warned the Hungarian authorities against armed action. Based on this information, the Hungarian anti-terrorist unit TEK conducted a raid in front of the Legendás restaurant in XVI. Budapest district, where she detained six young people and took them into custody. The police found only airsoft and expansion weapons with the members of the group, among whom there were men and women.
As reported by the telex.hu website, the American secret services intercepted the communication of young people in the online space that they want to attack a protected person on the anniversary of the revolution. “According to diplomatic sources, the Hungarian authorities should have received this notification about two weeks ago,” the website wrote.
It is not yet clear where the armed action was to take place and who was to be its target. According to telex.hu, a group of young people should have tried to obtain weapons in order to carry out this event. “In view of the recent international events, when there were several attacks on leading politicians, the Hungarian authorities and TEK took the necessary steps,” said telex.hu.
In March of this year, the American secret services alerted the Russian authorities that a terrorist attack was being prepared in Moscow. Moscow called it disinformation. Two weeks after the attack by gunmen on the concert hall of the Crocus City Hall shopping center in Krasnogorsk on the outskirts of the Russian capital, 145 people were killed and several hundred others were injured.
