The police have terminated the proceedings against the teacher who scribbled in cursive on the place of the torn hate-inciting poster

The police have closed the investigation against a teacher who wrote on a defaced poster depicting Zelensky, von der Leyen, and Weber. The teacher had added messages like "Love is stronger than hate" to the already damaged poster. The Hungarian Helsinki Committee argued that no actual damage occurred, as the police confirmed the poster was already harmed. The police concluded that no crime was committed and could not prove the teacher altered the only undamaged poster. The Committee noted the unusual decision by the police to dismiss the case based on common sense, despite a previous ruling stating all poster defacement should be considered a crime. The investigation was closed before a recent Constitutional Court ruling deemed such blanket criminalization unconstitutional.
