    “In the face of this senseless destruction and unjustified violence, perhaps it is now clear to everyone why Hungary advocates the strictest possible approach to migration, and why we will not weaken our border protection or immigration policy under any pressure,“

    He made no such distinction.

      “Let there be no doubt: peaceful and lawful protest is one thing; vandalism and violence are quite another. The former is a fundamental right; the latter is a serious crime.”

        Violence and vandalism are required tools if the first response to a peaceful protest is teargass cannisters.

        This was a peaceful protest. Then France responded.

        …he’s talking about the badly integrated or straightout hostile to french society and culture who use the protests as an opportunity to go looting and destroying.

        Where this?

            If it’s just that, then why bring up border control and immigration? Just an unrelated aside? Or perhaps he’s implying the vandals and looters are… immigrants?

            Either you are intentionally misleading and disingenuous or just plain ignorant.

            The violents are two groups: left extremists and looters/vandals without political goals

            It’s two groups; undercover cops and those who enjoy acting out

        Protests always start peaceful.

        Only if nobody listen do they ramp up and start glueing themselves to things.

        And they will keep ramping up until somebody listens to their demands or the whole country burns.
