Europa League final: Fans wreak havoc at Liszt Ferenc Square, Budapest – PHOTOS

Liszt Ferenc Square has fallen due to foreign fans arriving for the Europa League final. This was reported by the mayor of Terézváros (District 6 of Budapest) on Facebook early Wednesday evening.

Tamás Soproni wrote that the fans arriving for the EL final simply destroyed the venue.

“The 4,000 plants that we planted the other day, designed by students, are dead. Broken bottles, vomit, rubbish everywhere, there are flower beds that have simply disappeared due to trampling,”

he wrote in his post.

Soproni said the organisers had not asked for their help. They had not been approached to provide increased law enforcement or public order personnel on the day, nor had they been informed of where the supporters would be gathering or the route of the diversion. As he wrote, he thinks that the police and the capital were at least consulted, but it is clear that the organisers did not act with due diligence.

“Tomorrow morning, my colleagues and I will be on site and will start cleaning up as soon as we can. We will, of course, repair the damage as soon as possible, but we will submit the bill to the National Event Management Agency Nonprofit Ltd. I hope that after the game we will not have another victim of our public space,”

he concluded.

Here are some pictures of the disaster the fans left in Liszt Ferenc Square:
