The proceedings against the teacher who painted over hate-inciting posters have been terminated

The police terminated the criminal proceedings against a teacher who spray-painted protest messages on government posters in Óbuda, citing lack of a crime. Schneider Flóra, previously teaching at a foundation school, expressed her outrage against the government's hate campaign, which she believed instilled fear in children. During the incident, she targeted already damaged posters and wrote messages advocating for love and acceptance. The police detained her for eight hours, but the investigation was closed as no actual damage was proven. The Hungarian Helsinki Committee noted the significance of this decision, especially following a recent Constitutional Court ruling that deemed previous legal interpretations unconstitutional. This case reflects a broader trend of criminal proceedings against individuals expressing political opinions through poster alterations.
