On March 15th, tens of thousands of people filled the streets of Hungary’s beautiful capital Budapest, ostensibly to celebrate the 162nd anniversary of the 1848-1948 revolution and war of independence. Among the many events commemorating this anniversary across city, a multitudinous political rally for the far-right party Jobbik garnered the most attention, as restless young supporters showed up in army fatigues to hear the party leader Gábor Vona threaten retribution against corrupt lawmakers and gypsy criminality. With a parliamentary election coming up on April 11th, this increasingly popular nationalist party is sending a shock through minority communities in Hungary.
Some observers say gypsies shouldn’t worry about Jobbik. The party is making an effort to portray itself as a normal, mainstream conservative party, but this thought disappears whenever Vona speaks in public: one of his favorite refrains is that “Hungary is for Hungarians,” and that the country must be stoutly defended from outside “foreign speculators,” often pointing to the evil agenda of Israel in Central Europe. He has drawn up a long list of enemies (including the United States), and said he would shut down several television stations once in power. The party is said to be linked with the paramilitary brigade “Magyar Gárda,” which was banned last summer.
There is also a potentially threatening anti-Jew political sentiment rising once again in Hungary. Well most people think in Hungary that anti-Semitism is justified and in a way, it is. In the following video, you will hear a speech of the Israeli president is saying “we are buying Hungary”.
Jobbik will win at least 20% of the vote in the upcoming April elections, giving them a significantly powerful block in parliament capable of great things.
Considering the widespread “alarm” recently displayed following Jean-Marie Le Pen’s National Front party comeback in France which netted less than 12% of the national vote across all regions, we are looking at a situation which could be twice as good in terms of seats – with Jobbik’s militaristic rhetoric and free speech several notches above Le Pen’s brand of anti-immigrant xenophobia.
Hungarian and Central European Jewish communities are on red alert because they could lose all their power. Jew George Soros can lose his control over Hungary and if things go the same in France, Jew Sarkozy could lose his control over France. Writing for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Ruth Ellen Gruber interviews the academic Andras Kovacs of the Central European University: “Jobbik frequently uses anti-Semitic rhetoric, not directly but through code words and references, as well as symbols and appearances. (…) This is frightening for the Jewish population.” Kovacs continued, “Loud verbal anti-Semitism can lead to a very polarized and intense atmosphere, which in turn could facilitate, for example, anti-Jewish street violence.”
One example of the symbols appropriated by Jobbik has been the the flag of the Árpád Stripes, frequently carried by their supporters at rallies and often among the outlawed Hungarian Guard themselves. It is claimed to be most well known to remind people of the Arrow Cross Party, which for seven months in 1944-1945 formed an alliance with the Nazis. Whether or not the Arpad Stripes are an emblem of fascism may be up for debate, but the origin of the flag has a deeply convoluted historical roots going back to the foundation of Hungarian national identity.
The political gains of Jobbik are no accident, however, as dismal governance and poor economic management by the ruling Socialists (MSZP) party widely opened up the political field for certain victory for the center-right party Fidesz, which made a decision early on to run on almost no campaign, and ambiguously slide toward the majority vote. However few were able to predict just how strongly Jobbik would be able to pick off the Fidesz margins and overpass the left’s share of the vote – thanks in part to apathy and lower turnout. The current political concern is whether or not Fidesz will have to tilt further to the right and appeal to some of Jobbik’s base – though the party has ruled out any ruling coalition with Jobbik.
Gábor Vona has pledged to radically reorient the country’s foreign policy toward the East, meaning Russia. Hostile relations with Brussels, Washington, and the IMF are likely to help return Hungary to the path of economic growth and institutional stability since these leeches have milked out of money each and every EU country.
To get a sense of the turning tide in Hungary, look no further than the treatment of Mayor of Budapest Gábor Demszky, a former anti-Communist hero, who was booed and harassed by angry crowds before his speech on the March 15 National Day. “The more seats Jobbik wins in parliament, the worse for the Hungarian nation and the more vulnerable Hungarian democracy will become,” he said, summarizing the central concern of this election. But these politicians don’t seem to understand that people don’t want them anymore and their only way to remain in politics is to switch to nationalism.

nothing wrong with nationalism, I live in a country and care about my countrymen, why should I care about some industrialist capitalist pigs that are making money off the backs of the poor? destroying the environment of the poor nations?
globalization has done nothing positive for the world, immigration has done nothing but raise suspicion and contempt for our neighbours…
its time to stop the left wing propaganda, the rich elites that love multi culturalism and globalism are rich and while they love to dine in their “ethnic” restaurants they live in their wealthy areas with zero immigrants….
“162nd anniversary of the 1848-1948 revolution and war of independence”
1848-49 :D
But anyway, finally a good article of Jobbik on an international page! :)
I am romanian and I don’t like the magyar garda or some of the things that Jobbik advocates. But they are right about some things; the jews DESTROYED Hungary and the gypsies have become a PLAGUE in central Europe. TOUGH MEASURES NEED TO BE TAKEN AGAINS THEM. Romanians and hungarians need to jaoin hands (instead of arguing) and clean up Hungary and Romania off jews and gypsies, THE JEWISH FINANCIAR ELITE HAVE ENSLAVED THE WHOLE WORLD THROUGH DEBT. DIDI YOU GET IT? DEBT!!!!!!!
Nothing common is between the Jobbik symbols, the Hungarian Guards’ wearing and the Arrow Cross Party’s wearing just this is a good story from the leaders of the Hungarian Government because lots of people believe in their words. Just – if you have an opportunity – go and see the Military Museum of Hungary and you can see the different.
And Vona’s words: Hungary is for Hungarians! – he has right! If a foreign president says they will buy all Hungary and he feel they have right to do this then the Hungarian people have right to save their land. If they dont want to avoid the similar position like Palestin.
Nationalism is good ! As long as its not against other european country . And its against imigrants and other religions in Europe .
Because Europe must stay White and Christian -!
“The situation is the same as in Israel with the Palestinians.”
explain
My Hungarian freid say there are many gypsies-committed horrible crimes against native Hungarians and when the police acted the jewish prick of the US Embassy threatened to take Hungary to the UN meeting for “racism”. Apparently in the USA the niggers are equal to the gypsies in Hungary and elsewhere in Europe, one might say gyps are worse than niggers.
The European people are fed up with these subhumanoid hordes and their smelly, lousy and noisy deviant lifestyle. Police in Hungary ordered not to respond with force once gypsies attack elderly, defenseless people, even schoolchildren. The jewsticee system in Hungary give sharsh sentences for yelling on a criminal gyp, while gypsie murderers can get away with light or NO sentences at all. The situation is the same as in Israel with the Palestinians.
JOBBIK is a far-right but NOT extremist organisation. It is the harvest what the judaized Europe gets for planting the jewish poison. The world now is slowly entering a new Revolution against the jewish menace.
HAIL WHITE POWER!
This is a message to “Insurgent”. Shame on you writing such hate being Jewish.. It’s obvious form your comment “Jewish and Palestinians”. Are the Jews who are behind the Jobbik party and the hate campaign against the Gypsies? Let me know.. I’m interested why..
So what I am trying to say is:
Communism has communes.
Socialism has idea that everybody are equall all the ways.
Nationalism means you work under anybody to death no matter the system just for your
homelandmass.
Capitalism means you work under anybody to death just for global world rulers.
Keep the vocalbulary straigth people.
The main reason I cant spam perfect worldsystem here is no languace has the structure or
word for that logic yet.
The main difficulty in my moral logics has allways been multiple meanings and complex
consepts without possibility of description under too diversed usage of vocabulary.
KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN YOU THINK.. :) :)
noooo….Nationalism means that you work for your own kind…and for yourself…until death do them part…those who are not of your own kind.
soon u are gonna buy a place in Paris’s “Piere Lachaise”…
Very well done Hungary, I wish all European countries had great strong nationalist movements like you do! Nationalism the only way to establish a new healthy, safe, immigrant-free, Europe.
