Each year, far-right groups from across Europe meet in Budapest for what they call a "Day of Honour" to mark a failed attempt by Nazi and Hungarian troops in 1945 to break out of the city during the Soviet Army's siege. While some events have been banned, including neo-Nazi concerts — that will still take place at undisclosed locations — an annual "memorial hike" is being held.
