They announced an antiracist demonstration to be held in the down town the afternoon of the same day that was approved by the police. For some time, foreign diplomatic and press pressure was also strong against the neo-Nazi actions in Hungary. The President, who never reprehended extreme right actions before, by this occasion made an open declaration against the meeting and the police supported by the prime minister proclaimed the meeting illegal. The antiracist demonstration, however, was held in the afternoon. A small group of rightist hooligans tried to trouble the demonstration, but the police impeded the action.
Around thirty social, left, humanist, green, feminist, youth, homosexual civil organisations participated the demonstration, several set up tents on the spot, foreign guests from England, Italy, Belgium, the Czech Republic came to the meeting, there was music on the place and from 5.30 pm representatives of the organisations addressed the audience of 5-6 hundred people. 
The main slogan of the meeting was “No pasaran! Fascists won’t break through!” The poet and editor of a literary monthly, András Simor, the first speaker, recalled his difficult youth, the losses and sufferings under the Second World War. Jiri Hudecek greeted the participants and expressed the solidarity on behalf of the European Left. The fight for democracy is a common case of European people. The last speaker, Gáspár Miklós Tamás, a philosopher and political writer went much further, than the original idea of the demonstration. With trivial antiracist agitation we won’t achieve any success. Antifascist fight will be successful only, if society will rejuvenate, will be more equitable and fraternal. Democracy consists not only of rules, but should be the rule of people.
