Mayor Says the NS Pub on Damjanich Street Has Closed

Péter Niedermüller announced on Facebook on Saturday that the Damjanich utca venue targeted by the District VII municipality had ceased operating. The mayor did not name the establishment, but Telex identified it as NS Pub.

Serious allegations about the venue

Niedermüller had publicly criticised the establishment last year. He alleged that some visitors wore swastika T-shirts and praised Hitler, while books sold at the venue promoted views that incited violence.

In Saturday’s statement, the mayor said the municipality had organised a protest, contacted the owner of the property and approached the police, courts, public prosecutor’s office and other relevant authorities in an effort to have the venue closed.

“We achieved our goal; the Nazi den has closed,” Niedermüller wrote. He added that hatred and Nazi ideology had no place in Erzsébetváros or elsewhere in Hungary.

Telex identified the venue as NS Pub

Although the mayor did not name the establishment, Telex reported that it was NS Pub. The news site also said the pub’s website was the same as that of Nordic Sun Budapest Records. According to Telex, the organisation arranged a secret neo-Nazi concert in Budaörs last December.
