In April 2011 Eszes attempted to lead a training camp conducted by Vedero. He was arrested and led away by police. Eszes, a karate instructor, claimed the camp was intended to improve the physical condition of Hungarian youths. The incident highlighted tensions between ethnic Hungarians and the local gypsy minority.
