This is a guest post by Karl Pfeifer Admiral Horthy rode on a white horse into Budapest and his rule started with a massacre of about 3000 persons. His rule ended with the deportation of half a million Hungarian Jews. Hungary’s right wing parties do everything to gloss over those facts. And it is logical that the neo-arrow-cross Jobbik [...]

About a thousand supporters of the far-right Jobbik party have participated in a peaceful march on the 90th anniversary of Horthy’s takeover in Hungary. Hungary has no real historical anti-Nazi and anti-Communist hero. That gives a little credit to the old man who had successfully beaten a Soviet uprising 90 years ago. However, it would be very unwise to believe that Hungary is developing a cult...

A solidarity conference sponsored by the Palestinian Return Centre invited an actual, factual, fascist to the event as a speaker: Krisztina Morvai, MEP and leader of Hungary's far-right Jobbik Party . This upset several leading anti-racist organizations in the UK (notably, Nothing British), who urged British politicians scheduled to attend the event to drop out (several did). We believe it would be...

The European Alliance of National Movements (AENM), the coalition of far-right parties formed last month in Budapest, has failed in its an attempt to get its hands on European Parliament cash, as the jumble of reactionary rightists did not manage to file the application on time. The alliance, which includes the UK's BNP, France's Front National and Hungary's Jobbik, says it wants its share of the around...

No direct threat, yet far-right ideas seep into the mainstream WHEN Jobbik, a Hungarian far-right party, took 15% of the vote in June’s European election, it sent shudders across the continent. Running on an anti-Roma (gypsy) platform, with nasty words for Jews and homosexuals and with its own uniformed wing, Jobbik seemed more troubling than earlier groups. It joined existing extremists in...

Five European nationalist parties are forming an alliance in opposition to the European Union and globalization, officials said. Hungary's Jobbik, France's National Front, Italy's Three-Color Flame, Sweden's...

At London’s Royal National Theatre, a play called Our Class is pulling in crowds. It tells of the massacre of 1,400 Jews in the town of Jedwabne in north-east Poland in 1941. These Jews were not victims of Nazis. They were killed by Poles in an anti-Semitic frenzy unleashed by the horrors of the German-Russian occupation of Poland after 1939. The play looks at the life story of 10 Catholic and...

Liberal Democrat peer Baroness Tonge is going to appear at a rally of some sort with a Hungarian fascist. This was uncovered by the group " Nothing British About the BNP ", a fantastic group which counts me as an ally - check the blogroll . Tonge appearing at this event is not surprising, but it is certainly embarrassing to the LibDem hierarchy, who condemn the BNP . This fascist Tonge will...

Gábor Vona, leader of Hungary’s far-right Jobbik party, made the announcement Saturday in Budapest.

By Philip Honour It is entirely possible that the BBC knows exactly what it is doing by inviting Nick Griffin onto tomorrow's Question Time . Surprising as it may seem to critics of his appearance, by offering Nick Griffin a platform to attempt to convince the UK population that racism is the way forward, there is a strong possibility that it will instead be a chance for the public to see Nick Griffin...
