The few hundred rioters, many of them mummed, started to walk in opposed direction to the 1000-1500 participants of the Gay Pride march. Police erected cordons along the way, which was voefully inadequate: the rioters attacked police with Molotov cocktails and torn-up pavement, managed to burned police cars at the very beginning, and threw bananas and tomatoes at the marchers.
Police at least caught a group of six who wanted to trow some liquid chemical substance in vials from the balcony of a building.
In the now traditional streetfights, police chased the far-right rioters (chant of the day c.: "Gyurcsány [the PM] fuck off / also take your faggot") ahead of the march, who - another tradition - again knocked out a reporter too.
However, the Gay Parade was to end with a concert, and there things got chaotic, police had to bring away people (including politicians) in police cars under attack from rioters while police itself was dispersing the now 500 idiots. Altogether 13 police cars were damaged.
49 arrests - I must say only. Another blamage for police. *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
