Abstract
If we are searching for the lesson learned from the Vajnai judgement, it probably can be carefully stated that the general ban of the display of a multiple-meaning totalitarian symbol, because of the absence of the risk of the restoration of the dictatorial regime, upon the occasion of a lawful assembly of a legally operating organisation, infringes Article 10 of the Convention.
Keywords: hate speech, symbols of totalitarian regimes, communist symbols
