DK: Authorities' partiality for pro-Erdogan demos 'scandalous'

The Democratic Coalition (DK) considers it "scandalous" that the authorities allowed a demonstration staged by supporters of Recep Tayyip Erdogan but banned the one DK had called against the Turkish president, a spokesman for the leftist opposition party said on Tuesday. Sandor Ronai cited press reports saying that an event organised by pro-Erdogan Turks living in Hungary was held at the same site the party's protest had been banned from. "This time, we can't hear [Prime Minister] Viktor Orban ... fuming that Muslims have more rights in Europe than Europeans," he said.
