In a decisive win against far-left extremism, the Budapest Metropolitan Court sentenced German Antifa activist Maja T—born Simeon T—to eight years in prison on February 4, 2026, for participating in brutal assaults on suspected right-wing protestors during Budapest’s 2023 “Day of Honor” rally. The 25-year-old, who identifies as non-binary, was convicted of attempted grievous bodily harm and membership in a criminal organization, highlighting Hungary’s firm stance against imported radical violence that threatens public order and free assembly.
Prosecutors sought a 24-year sentence as a deterrent, arguing Maja T was part of a coordinated Antifa group from Germany and Italy that inflicted serious injuries on victims. Judge Jozsef Sos affirmed the evidence proved involvement in the assaults, rejecting defense claims of a circumstantial case.
Maja T was extradited from Germany in December 2024, despite Germany’s Constitutional Court ruling it unlawful over fears of inhumane treatment in Hungarian custody. Hungarian authorities dismissed such concerns, emphasizing justice for victims of leftist aggression. The verdict is not final and can be appealed, but it sends a clear message: No tolerance for ideological thugs disrupting society under the guise of “anti-fascism.”
This case exposes the dangers of Antifa’s violent tactics, often glorified by Western leftists, while Hungary under Viktor Orbán upholds rule of law and protects citizens from chaos.
