Jobbik, whose list you head in the EP elections, has two faces. On the one hand there are the military-style marches with flags and uniforms, and on the other hand there is a very detailed, well-founded election programme, large parts of which any left-wing anti-globalisation organisation would be happy to endorse. Which of the two is the real face of the party?

Why should the two aspects be in conflict with each other? Our programme has two mottos. One is: “Hungary belongs to the Hungarians”. That demonstrates strong national identity, and makes it clear that we no longer want to serve international high finance in such a way that Hungary becomes a colony, the people sink into poverty and become slaves in their our country. The other motto is “a way of thinking based on people and community instead of money and profit”. The question should not be what is good in terms of maximising profits, but of what is good for people. This includes, for example, representing the interests of employees, aiding companies and consumer protection - those are all question which affect the dignity and the meaning of human lives. Other political forces think in terms of profit. That is the real dividing line today, rather than the question of whether somebody is rightwing or leftwing. In my view it follows directly from this focus on people that we should turn from global to local, and defend local interests, the local economy and the rights of local people.

Can the motto “Hungary belongs to the Hungarians” be conveyed on a European level?

Yes, I think very well. The French, the English and the Germans also feel this more and more strongly. We can see that there are increasing protests against local economies being put at risk. (more…)

The Foreign Policy Committee of Jobbik exists since the inception of the party and is in charge of handling foreign relations with other European nationalist parties as well as seeking out potential allies in the wider world. The Committee works as a political function on the one hand, and participates in the actual operational management including devising and implementing Jobbik’s foreign policy and program, on the other.

International influence of Hungary will significantly increase in 2011, as head of the rotating presidency of the European Union and become a determining factor in world politics. By that time we expect Jobbik to be (more…)

As it was anticipated, Jobbik is a subject of a harsh, co-ordinated and slandering campaign in the run-up to the EP election on the 7th June 2009. Despite this, the Jobbik party was the first party to submit the “recommendation notes” to the National Electorate that is required by law to participate in the EP elections.

20,000 notes had to be submitted but support and popularity quite literally shocked everyone even at top level in the party - in a couple of weeks we received more than 100,000 notes. Not only so called “extremists”, but top-ranked officials, Jewish and a number of Roma citizens decided to give their notes and support to (more…)

Jobbik, The Movement For A Better Hungary considers the involvement of the Hungarian Army in next month’s NATO military exercise in Georgia an irresponsible political decision. The relationship between tha NATO and Russia severely suffered due to the crisis in South-Osetia last year, and relations only just have started to show signs of recovery in the last few months. In this situation, the Jobbik Party objects the Hungarian Army’s participation in a NATO military exercise that (more…)

Gabor Vona, President of Jobbik, The Movement For A Better Hungary called for early elections in an open letter written to opposition party Fidesz leader Viktor Orban.

Vona emphasised that the resignation of unpopular PM Gyurcsany is only an attempt for the governing Socialist Party to survive until the next general elections in 2010.

The Socialist Party’s aim remains the same to continue their destruction of the country, only led by a different leader.

We can not allow that! - says Vona. Hungary may only be saved by early elections.

Fidesz, the main opposition party and Jobbik, the third political power in Hungary are not the same in strategic questions and policies but one very important aim is (more…)

Dr. Krisztina Morvai, Jobbik’s first candidate for the European Parliament was brutally attacked by the frustrated Gyurcsany-police in the evening on the 15th March.  The incident took place in Budapest when demonstrators tried to make their way home led by Ms Morvai.

Krisztina Morvai and Dr. Tamas Nagy-Gaudi from the National Legal Foundation had to negotiate escape route with the police when a few hundred peaceful demonstrators were completely surrounded by riot police in full gear.
This illegal practice by the police is already a subject of condemnation as regulatory laws clearly state that the police need to provide an “escape route” for demonstrators.  Due to journalists and TV-channels being present, the police agreed to provide this route but later attacked the demonstrators and Ms Morvai.

The video below shows that the peaceful crowd was stopped yet again by police.  As Ms Morvai tried to address the journalists present, she was attacked by the Gyurcsany-police, very (more…)

Jobbik, The Movement For a Better Hungary was informed about the murder of Marian Cozma handball player in the early hours on Sunday in Veszprem. Based on the news, the perpetrators were  criminals of Roma origin.

We expect the police to find the perpetrators and publish the result of their investigation.

The serious and aggressive crimes committed recently prove that the government can’t guarantee public safety. The investigation results are not published, if the police arrest a criminal, the court system will delay the punsihment for years before sending committed criminals and murderers back to the streets.  We blame the current political parties and their incapability for 20 years for this situation.

Jobbik would make it our priority in the Parliament to establish public safety. Strong police (more…)

Jobbik’s Foreign Affairs Committee welcomes the new initiative for a campaign against the Lisbon Treaty that was discussed at a recent meeting in Wien, Austria by known and successful radical European parties.

The current practice by EU leaders and organisers is outragous, completely ignoring the decision of millions of Irish and ignoring the Democratic traditions of Europe.

As the Lisbon Treaty will obstruct national suverinity, the fight against (more…)

Statement by Jobbik: Istvan Lovas Hungarian Journalist brought the Jerusalem Post’s article to our attention in which former Sephardi chief rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu ruled that “there was absolutely no moral prohibition against the indiscriminate killing of civilians”, in a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

The Rabbi’s letter to be distributed in synagogues nationwide, cited the biblical story of the Shechem massacre as proof texts for his legal decision. According to Jewish war ethics, wrote Eliyahu, an entire city holds collective responsibility for the immoral behavior of individuals. In Gaza, the entire populace is responsible because they do nothing to stop (more…)

In the Ferencvaros district of Budapest a parliamentary seat became vacant in September when Ferenc Gegesy Liberal MP gave up his seat and left SZDSZ (liberal party). A by-election will be held on the 11th January 2009 for the seat. Hungarian law require political candidates to collect and present at least 750 “recommendation note” in the district to be able to contest the vote.

This requirement usually puts smaller political parties in a difficult situation as one voter may only give out one recommendation to one single party, and widespread fraud is associated with the collection of these “recommendation notes”. (more…)

Jobbik, The Movement for a Better Hungary has won 3 seats in the European Parliament, coming close to even beat the ruling Socialist Party.

In 7 counties Jobbik secured second place ahead of the Socialists, and in many local regions came as first choice of the voters overtaking centre party Fidesz.

The official results: Fidesz 56.37%, MSZP (Socialists) 17.37%, Jobbik 14,77%.

“Jobbik is the new power, this is the last 20 year’s greatest political achievement.” Gabor Vona, president of Jobbik said. “Dr. Krisztina Morvai is our best candidate who will surely stir up the muddy water in the European Parliament” he added.

“Jobbik not only speaks but will put the words in action, Hungary belongs to the Hungarians.” Vona finished his speech in front of journalists and a happy, cheering and celebrating Jobbik audiance.

A reporter for the British Sunday Telegraph newspaper received an unambiguous repudiation from Dr Krisztina Morvai, Jobbik’s European Parliamentary candidate, last Wednesday; when the former arrived in Budapest with his team.
The purportedly conservative Daily Telegraph’s Sunday edition’s request for an interview was met with a steadfast refusal from a deeply disappointed Dr Morvai, given the reporter’s embarrassingly flimsy research, and the outright defamation visited on Jobbik by the Telegraph a few days prior to the reporter’s visit.
On 15 May, the Telegraph had stated, in an act of plain libel that, “Jobbik has (more…)

Maps in the article

As nears the date of the upcoming European parliamentary elections , so do the left/liberal media and ruling, monolithic parliamentary party sharpen and concentrate their attacks on nationalist forces especially Jobbik and the Hungarian Guard for purely one simple reason. A real and prospective opportunity presented itself for a new , clean, no-baggage political party to represent the interests of a victimized and repressed Hungarian society. Apparently no cost is too high to prevent such eventuality, including but not limited to blame already meted out for incidents of petty crime and alleged(!) racist attacks at the expense of minorities, on the nationalist party.

The allegedly racist attacks provide invaluable time and excuse for the Bajnai government to divert attention from the real-time issues wrecking the country’s economy as the implemented austerity measures, (more…)

In recent days, liberal politicans labelled Jobbik, The Movement for a Better Hungary a “neo-nazi” party. The extremist, minor liberal party resorted to slanderous lies about the Jobbik party.

Jobbik, The Movement For a Better Hungary has not taken any legal actions yet against the minor Liberal Party that only supported by less than 1% of voters in Hungary. However, as the extremist Liberals’ communication and actions against the Hungarian nation is full of hatred and is out of hand, Jobbik will take them to court.

Liberal politicans accused Jobbik and the Hungarian Guard to take part in (more…)

Jobbik, The Movement For A Better Hungary has yet again secured its position in the Hungarian political scene as a power to be reckoned with. In Ajka-Banyasztelep, a former Socialist stronghold, Jobbik scored 18,92% of the votes at the early municipal election held on Saturday.

Left-centre party Fidesz won the by-election by 52% of the votes, the Socialists came second collecting only 25% of the votes.  Gabor Ferenczi, candidate for the Jobbik party thanked the party activists for their help and the supporters for their votes.

Gabor Szabo, party director of Jobbik summarised the result:  “The patriots of Ajka showed us that Jobbik will not stop being the third political power:  slowly but surely will overtake the collapsing Socialist Party’s support”.

15 March 1988 - only one year before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the arrival of “Democracy” in Central-Europe. Unaware of the changes, communist Hungarian government out in force on the streets of Budapest on the National Holiday of 15th March.  The police beat everyone opposing the communist regime or dare to sing the National Anthem in public. Even then, they are heavily criticed for being a bit too “enthusiastic” at edge of the collapse of their regime.

21 years on, 161 year after the 1848 revolution and freedom fight, the post-communist Gyurcsany regime and its police are the same, or even worse than their predeccesors. People detained then humiliated in the police station for shouting anti-government slogans. No, it is not an exaggeration, (more…)

Jobbik, The Movement For a Better Hungary increased the number of their voters at the second round of the Ferencvaros, Budapest by-election. 8% of the voters chose Jobbik, making the patriotic conservative party the third political power in Hungary.

The by-election was rigged with election frauds as we earlier reported at jobbik.com. Roma minority groups called on their members to vote against Jobbik and all other political parties tried to exploit the governing pro-communist Socialist Party’s hate campaign against Jobbik.

Left-centre party Fidesz won the by-election, but due to the humiliating defeat (more…)

Voters in the Ferencvaros district of Budapest made history by voting for Csanad Szegedi Jobbik candidate at the by-election held yesterday. In the prominently left-liberal district of the capital, Jobbik, The Movement For A Better Hungary secured 8.5% of the total votes officially making it the 3rd strongest party in Hungarian politics.  At some poll-districts in Ferencvaros Jobbik even made second place at around 15% of the votes.

Gabor Vona, Chairman of the Jobbik party stated that yesterday’s result proved Jobbik to be a real political power to count with giving Hungarian voters a real alternative in the current corrupt, tired political scene with the almost 10% result. Many Hungarians will be joyed that the Liberal Party (SZDSZ) scored only at about 5% in the once Liberal stronghold of Budapest. Csanad Szegedi, the candidate at the by-election in Ferencvaros added that if the Liberal Party scored (more…)

Jobbik, the Movement for a Better Hungary organised a silent candlelight vigil last night to express their utmost revulsion at the Jewish State’s use of wonton terror against the Palestinian people.  In addition to the 100 strong attending Hungarian Guard, Gábor Vona and Krisztina Morvai made a speech front of the several hundred demonstrators.Jobbik has strongly criticised the Israeli attack on Gaza and submitted a petition to Israeli Ambassador Aliza Bin-Noun on Monday.

The Ambassador’s reaction was almost immediate (more…)

Hungarian left-wing daily newspaper Nepszabadsag published an opinion poll ordered from research company Szonda-Ipsos where Hungarians were asked which party they would vote for if general elections were held this Sunday. While official left-wing media surveys have usually put Jobbik’s support at about a modest 1-2%, Nepszabadsag now published 3% support that places Jobbik, the only Hungarian patriotic party ahead of former governing coalition party SZDSZ (Liberals) with only 2%.

Gabor Vona

Gabor Vona, President of Jobbik has confirmed that the first 3 candidates from Jobbik’s EP list will be delegated to the European Parliament: Dr. Krisztina Morvai, Zoltan Balczo and Csanad Szegedi.

Jobbik will seek to initiate or join a new political group in the EP, co-operating and working together with “EU-realistic” political parties, Vona said. Jobbik will work together with those parties that say no to the new Lisbon-treaty and its content but Jobbik will refuse joining any political groups where openly anti-Hungarian parties invited.
“We hope that the new political group will share the idea of Nations in Europe” the Jobbik president said. (more…)

EP 2009

Jobbik, The Movement for a Better Hungary will delegate electoral observers for the EP elections held abroad at Hungarian Embassies. The National Electoral Agency reported that some 3800 will vote abroad at the European elections on 7 June.

Contesting political parties may delegate observers at their own costs. Jobbik already delegated a member to the National Electoral Committee in Hungary, Elod Novak who already exposed serious election frauds at a by-election in January. Jobbik is determined to prevent and uncover such similar attempts of fraud by any parties and delegated 4 electoral observers abroad.

The Jobbik officials will be present in New York, London, Helsinki and Stockholm where Hungarian voters registered in great numbers.

Gabor Vona, Chairman of Jobbik was the guest this morning in state-run Hungarian Television MTV. The Jobbik chairman confidently answered and argued for Jobbik’s programmes and EP campaign in the TV studio.

“They [other parliamentary parties] are scared of Jobbik getting in the European Parliament and therefore in the Hungarian Parliament next year, for different reasons” Vona said. Jobbik wants the ruling Socialists to be accountable for their economic mistakes and corruption and Jobbik will pursue an investigation when in Parliament.

Fidesz, the main opposition party, on the other hand, are scared of Jobbik actually carrying out what they believe instead of the “empty words”, the trademark of Fidesz. “Fidesz doesn’t want another party, a radical party that may damage their one flag - one camp on the right theory, even though it actually had resulted in their defeat in 2002 and in 2006.” - Vona explained.

“I want to live in a country where justice is present and justice was decided by the legal system, democracy by the people who should be able to vote for their party.” - the Jobbik chairman continued, “the current political elit has lost touch with the voters, Jobbik (more…)

Recent opinion polls and surveys show around 5% support for Jobbik, The Movement For a Better Hungary that would get the conservative, patriotic Hungarian Party in the Parliament.  Surveys provided by Marketing Centrum, Tarki and Szonda-Ipsos have noted increasing support for Jobbik month by month.

Left-centre party Fidesz, now in opposition, would harvest more than 50% of the votes if early general elections were held. The ruling Socialist Party would only get 25% of the votes and analysts warn that the collapse of the Socialist Party may be inevitable. Unpopular, former (more…)

On the 26th of February, 2009, Mr Vladimir Spidla, EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities said in a statement: it seems that “the Roma have become the target of organised racist violence - fed by political populism, hate speech and media hype” in Hungary.

(See: : http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?langId=cs&catId=89&newsId=464&furtherNews=yes)

Following this statement, we were surprised to learn that Vladimir Spidla, the person who has slandered our country, was honoured by the Hungarian Socialist Party in Budapest with a „Public Award” on International Women’s Day, on the 7th of March 2009.

Jobbik, The Movement For a Better Hungary protests against the Rumanian President’s scandalous comment that Erdely (Transylvania, now in Rumania) will never be granted autonomy. This attitude against the Hungarian minority is against EU principles.

Krisztina Morvai filed a lawsuit with the Hungarian Supreme Court against the leaders and military commanders of Israel accusing them of crimes against humanity.Ms. Morvai, a professor of law at the Budapest University (ELTE) cited several sections of the international and Hungarian law that the leaders and military commander of Israel violated.

Among these violations, she listed the slaughtering of the helpless civilian population of Gaza, mostly children and women. The use of banned chemical materials, such as phosphorous bombs causing burns and excruciating suffering for those come to contact with the substance–mostly unprotected civilians. The slaughtering and maiming of children in the presence of their loved ones causing extreme psychological suffering to the helpless parents.

The invasion of Gaza, up until now (more…)

Gabor Vona, Chairman of Jobbik, the Movement for A Better Hungary visited Moscow at the end of December. As a former history teacher, Jobbik chairman Vona was invited by Vasilij Padvojszkij, Head of the European Academics of Consolidation of National Traditions in Moscow.The representation by the Jobbik Chairman titled “Can Europe exist without Russia?” met with huge interest in the audience of students, teachers, scientists and a representative of the United Russia Party.

Gabor Vona pointed out that while Russia can exist and prosper without Europe, it would not be possible the other way around as Europe will need Russia to exist. There are genuine reasons and interests from both sides to close the gap between Europe and Russia, he added, ranging from energy resources to (more…)

Excerpts from the meeting between Václav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic, and members of the Conference of the Presidents of the European Parliament, Friday 5 December 2008, Prague Castle:

Brian Crowley MEP: With all respect, Mr. President, you will not tell me what the Irish think. As an Irishman, I know it best.

President Vaclav Klaus: I do not speculate about what the Irish think. I state the only measurable data which were proved by the referendum…

… If Mr. Crowley speaks of an insult to the Irish people, then I must say that the biggest insult to the Irish people is not to accept the result of the Irish referendum. In Ireland I met somebody who represents a majority in his country. You, Mr. Crowley, represent a view which is in minority in Ireland. That is a tangible result of the referendum. (more…)

Hungarian President Laszlo Solyom refused to sign the newly passed legislation about so-called “hate-speech” yesterday. The legislation was passed by the Socialist / Liberal majority Parliament with a clear intention to silence any real opposition.

This is not the first time the Socialists tried to impose such restrictions on free speech, but consitutional safeguards have held up their attempts so far. However, it seems to be only a matter of time when such restrictions will be passed directly or hidden in local legislations, police laws, etc.

Now Dr Krisztina Morvai, Jobbik’s first candidate for the 2009 EP elections has become the new target of politically motivated attacks. (more…)
