Swastika Vandalism in Miskolc

In central Miskolc, unknown perpetrators spray-painted swastikas on doors and walls of several lower-income residential buildings. Police opened an investigation under laws banning totalitarian symbols, treating the acts as both hate-motivated vandalism and property damage. The incident reflected ongoing far-right hostility in a region struggling with post-industrial decline, with the swastika marking the vandalism as explicitly antisemitic.
