Budapest city authorities have announced that they will file a police report after several Progress Pride flags displayed on the Erzsébet Bridge disappeared less than a day after being installed, in what officials suspect was an act of deliberate vandalism.
The issue came to light after residents noticed that the flags were no longer hanging from the bridge and alerted local media. Responding to questions, the office of liberal Mayor Gergely Karácsony confirmed that the reports were accurate and stated that 'intentional damage is suspected'.
