I might be mistaken, but don’t EU citizens have the freedom to travel across all EU countries? This will surely end badly for Hungary.
The band will be remembered for being on the right side of history
Can’t wait to see Kneecap sue them in court, win, and donate the resulting money to Tisza.
I’m no fan of Kneecap but this stuff is getting out of hand. The members of Kneecap aren’t very bright, they’re publicity stunt artists but they’re not malicious actors.
Jesus man, what is it with people and giving kneecap free advertising.
Kneecap would’ve been a small group on YouTube and phased out if it wasn’t for loyalists. I seen them in Glasgow and it was good but lads were messy and off their heads (they are anyway but it was more of a burnout style) you could see they would likely stop soon after. Then they had their mural and once again the loyalist community gave them the advertising as well as NI media.
I like the lads, I think they’re a good night out and fair everyone has their different views, whatever I’m not asking for your opinion. Then the america and Sharon Osborne debacle helped make them huge. Weird Starmer went out of his way with Kemi to give them consistent massive advertising.
They weren’t selling out small theatres at a point now they’ve just basically sold out a UK tour and will continue to grow and grow beyond their likely trajectory when they started and things like this are just going to add to it.
Edit: my phone corrected Keir to weird, you win this time autocorrect.
Victor orban is a far right family values guy and trump is his biggest fan, alongside Putin.
> You can love us or hate us, won’t affect a bit of our wages
More free advertising. Getting on the nerves of Orban is an absolute dream. fascist madhat will do anything to divert from his corruption, embezzlement of EU funds and failing economy. Seas le Kneecap ❤️
It had been about a week since Kneecap were in the media, was wondering what was up
There seems to be a pattern in those that seek to oppress them.
Can’t quite put my finger on it.
Hungary is something of a right wing cesspit and has been for years now. They love the zionists too, so hardly surprising.
Ugh so Hungary is just a Uniparty Z0G masqueraded as a right wing conservative! Bloody disgusting
This is disappointing but unsurprising tbh
Can we not ban them here in Ireland? Since there coming from Belfast outside the EU?
It’s a backwards shithole anyway…no loss
KKR owns sziget festival. That’s all you need to know
Badge of honour tbh
Well, I mean Hungary is currently classifying in indexes like freedom house as “a hybrid or transitional regime” and “partly free” and as a “flawed democracy” (low ranking end of those) on the democracy index
>Subject to the provisions of this Chapter, Member States may restrict the freedom of movement and residence of Union citizens and their family members, irrespective of nationality, on grounds of public policy, public security or public health.
For arguments sake, if we assume everything they said about Kneecap is true (and Kneecap can challenge this) then this sounds reasonable.
>Measures taken on grounds of public policy or public security shall comply with the principle of proportionality and shall be based exclusively on the personal conduct of the individual concerned. Previous criminal convictions shall not in themselves constitute grounds for taking such measures.
Personal conduct ok, proportional probably? Denying entry to visitors = proportional, again assuming it’s all true. Probably not proportional if they were living in Hungry for 20 years with a family.
>The personal conduct of the individual concerned must represent a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat affecting one of the fundamental interests of society. Justifications that are isolated from the particulars of the case or that rely on considerations of general prevention shall not be accepted.
Probably not. They’re going for a gig.
>Justifications that are isolated from the particulars of the case or that rely on considerations of general prevention shall not be accepted.
Yeah it just doesn’t sound like enough to justify it.

Might have something to do with: https://www.jns.org/behind-hungarys-turnaround-budding-alliance-with-israel/
Wonder when Sziget will stop advertising their attendance on their website?
It’s about time Hungary were kicked out of the EU
They aren’t going to sue them for money. But Hungarian government can’t just do this without a good reason. It could go all the way to the ECHR.
But all the fascist leaders and and dictators marching along in the country hurt nobody. Fuck ’em.
This should be challenged. It would benefit everyone in the EU to get certainty on it.

Under Article 27:
