BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary will replicate a policy announced Thursday by U.S. President Donald Trump and designate antifa a terrorist organization, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday.

Antifa, short for “anti-fascist,” is an umbrella term for loosely affiliated far-left-activists and groups that resist fascism, fascists and neo-Nazis, especially at demonstrations. It resembles more an ideology than an organization, though some have embraced militant tactics.

Orbán, a right-wing populist and strong Trump ally, said in comments to state radio on Friday that he was “pleased” by Trump’s announcement that he plans to designate antifa as a “major terrorist organization” in the United States.

“Antifa is indeed a terrorist organization,” Orbán said. “In Hungary, too, the time has come for us to classify organizations such as antifa as terrorist organizations, following the American model.”

1. Fitting that fascists would outlaw anti fascists.

Hungary doesn't know how to operate except under dictators apparently.

2. Has Orban and/or Putin and/or others

been advising TSF regime on how to convert from a democracy to an autocracy? Is that why so much of it has happened so fast?

3. Oh great. Now I can't go back home.

I had to hand in my antifa badge and ID back already. Now this.

But maybe I shouldn't kid these days...

For Orbán, this means all opposition will be branded antifa.
