A controversy has emerged in Hungary following the creation of a pastry named 'Bindzsisztán' by a confectionery in Hódmezővásárhely.
The pastry, reportedly resembling a honey cream slice but featuring the word 'Bindzsisztán' from a well-known music video by Hungarian rapper Majka, was sold out quickly.
Hódmezővásárhely's mayor, Márki-Zay Péter, mentioned in a
Facebook post that he was unable to try the dessert because it sold out but indicated that it would be available again later.
Majka, known for his critical stance on political and societal issues through his music, commented under the mayor's post, expressing dissatisfaction with the unauthorized use of the word 'Bindzsisztán' and his image without permission.
The rapper announced he would initiate legal proceedings against the confectionery for unauthorized use.
He emphasized that he had not agreed to the use of the term, protected under trademark registration, nor to the sale of the pastries.
Majka stated that any compensation received from legal actions would be donated to charity.
This incident comes in the wake of Majka's latest release, 'Csurran, cseppen,' which has garnered significant attention, amassing 7.9 million views on YouTube.
The video features Majka portraying a corrupt fictional prime minister named Pandur Pjetrő.
The release has triggered responses from various public figures and politicians, sparking debate and prompting commentary.
The controversy continues to attract public interest, highlighting issues of intellectual property and artistic expression in Hungary.
