Hungary
Fidesz appropriation of Jobbik policies continues, electorate remains unconvinced.
Desperate to secure a majority at next year’s Hungarian general election, the opposition Fidesz party’s behaviour is beginning to exhibit precisely that chief quality that also characterizes the incumbent MSZP Socialists: taking the Hungarian electorate for fools.
Gábor Vona: Eco-Social National Economy
Liberal market economy and global capitalism are twins, they presuppose one other. If one of them comes to an end the other becomes meaningless. Competition based economy--in other words, economy based on unregulated capital--has gone bankrupt, in front of our very eyes that in the mean time, destroyed the social fabric of society; in the wake of destruction, one thing has remained for people, the possibility to sacrifice themselves on the altar of multinational corporations....
Slovakia Curtails Free Speech through Restrictive Language Law
Imagine you are in your homeland, purchasing a ticket at the local train station. You walk up to the ticket counter and ask for a ticket in your own language. The clerk replies in your language, but the train company is fined 5,000 EURO ($7,075) for this "crime." Is this an Orwellian nightmare? Unfortunately, no. As of September 1, this is a realistic scenario in Slovakia--a member of NATO and the European Union, a country located in the heart of Europe....
2006 police brutalities - reloaded
Jobbik MEP Dr. Krisztina Morvai's first speech at the plenary session of the new European Parliament in Strasbourg served like a wake-up call, it seems, as centre-liberal opposition party Fidesz joined in the campaign for the EP to recognise the Human rights violations occured in Hungary in 2006 and since. ...
Counsel of Dictatorship Smells Blood
Jobbik finds the comments of former minister Peter Barandy who called for special consideration to disband the party of Jobbik that enjoys a popular support of 15%, astonishing and contrary to elementary democratic values. Jobbik has been aware of various left/liberal schemes, intent upon preventing emasculation of the national radical movement by stifling the party of order subsequent to the disbandment of the Hungarian Guard Association for months. ...

The World Federation of Hungarians Stands by the Hungarian Guard
The Republic of Hungary is not a law-abiding state. The non-appealable judgement which decreed the dissolution of the Hungarian Guards Association is in all probability politically motivated and thus it is a further evidence that the Republic of Hungary is not a law-abiding state....
The unlawful actions of the Hungarian police on 4 July 2009
About two or three hundred members and sympathizers of he Hungarian Guard Movement held a peaceful gathering in the afternoon of the 4th of July 2009, at the Elizabeth Square in Budapest, in order to protest against the 2 July court ruling that dissolved the Hungarian Guard Association, and for the release of political prisoners. The peaceful, sitting demonstrators were brutally dispersed by the police. Two hundred and sixteen persons were taken into custody, including Mr. Gábor Vona, president of the 15 % strong party Jobbik (Movement for a Better Hungary).

Police suppression of lawful protest culminates in violent arrest of democratic opposition leader
Budapest, July 4th 2009. Several thousand members of the Hungarian regime's police force were called out on Saturday to illegally harass and violently disperse an entirely lawful demonstration held by a few hundred Hungarians in the centre of Budapest. Gábor Vona, the leader of the opposition Jobbik Movement, who joined the demonstrators in the Evening, was violently removed by the police after being pepper-sprayed. He was then shackled, restrained, removed and arrested; in a truly chilling move entirely unworthy of a European democracy. ...
