A neo-Nazi party was held in a warehouse in Budaörs on 21 December last year. The location was kept secret by the organisers until the very last minute. The property was rented under the cover of the Nordic Sun Cultural Foundation supposedly to shoot a film, Telex has learned. However, the conspiracy did not work out too well, as in the end, not only did neo-Nazis from abroad show up but so did dozens of police officers, as well as officials of the National Tax Authority and the local government office. A concert with anti-Semitic bands As reported by Telex last autumn, Nordic Sun Records Budapest (NSRB), an unregistered label organised a neo-Nazi concert for the longest night of the year, 21 December. Tickets for the concert were only available in advance, but the exact venue was not disclosed by the organisers. Those who purchased tickets were later notified by email of the secret location. The NSRB invited two anti-Semitic bands from abroad to the concert. One was a band called Der Stürmer. They are a black metal band from Greece and represent the so-called NSBM (National Socialist Black Metal) movement. It is a subgenre of black metal that openly promotes national socialism, neo-Nazi ideas and racist, anti-Semitic views in its music. The other band chosen to perform was Sunwheel, a Polish black metal band also associated with the NSBM movement. When the concert was being organised, it seemed that it would take place in Budapest, but in the end, the organisers decided on a venue in Budaörs, just outside the capital. The warehouse in Budaörs was rented by the Nordic Sun Cultural Foundation. The Nordic Sun Cultural Foundation is also behind Nordic Sun Records Budapest, which actually organised the concert. The foundation, which was registered a few years ago and with a headquarter in the village of Nagybörzsöny, seemingly hasn’t got anything to do with the far right, although it is closely linked to the Hungarian branch of the international Blood & Honour far-right neo-Nazi network, Blood & Honour Hungária. Blood & Honour is a neo-Nazi music promotion network and far-right political group founded in the UK by one of the first skinheads, Ian Stuart Donaldson, a Briton, in the 1980s. The organisation is banned in several countries (Germany, Spain, Russia and Canada). The British government imposed financial sanctions on the organisation in January this year under the anti-terrorism legislation. The asset freeze was extended to all associated groups. Under the sanctions, no one in the UK is allowed to provide funding or financial services to the named organisations.
