The far-right paramilitary Hungarian Guard is developing into a scarier branch of the far-right freakshow than the rioters. (See this diary for a taxonomy of the confusing mini-bands of the Hungarian far-right and on the genesis of the Hungarian Guard.)

A judicial process to ban the formation was started recently. At the first hearing, Guard members (who are of all ages and both genders) in full regalia demonstratively occupied the audience room, and forced out journalists not of their liking.

A week or two later, the Guard held its second public swear-in of new members, again a few hundred fascists at Heroes' Square; during which far-right spectators of the ceremony hunted away ten counter-protesters, with police intervening only once they fled to the steps of a nearby museum.
