Foreign affairs, Hungarians in the Carpathian basin, Russian ties and the Alliance of European National Movements explained. Hungarian weekly Bar!kad published an interview with Bela Kovacs, Jobbik's Foreign Affairs President.
Today an event held by the Jobbik Friends of Hungary (UK) passed, as planned, entirely without incident in North London....
In a week which marked, both a resounding affirmation of the central principles of democracy, and the essential cessation of national sovereignty Europe-wide; the international press’ overreaction to the former and virtual disinterest towards the latter must, Jobbik argues, lead to the fourth estate seriously re-evaluating its currently tainted role in the democracies of Europe. The politics of Hungary would be a good place to start... ...
Spurred on by the international “success” of the anti-Hungarian Slovak language law, and no-doubt encouraged by the European Union’s disgraceful tacit backing of it, Ukraine has considered it timely to also commence the beginning of the final elimination of its own Hungarian minority; which lives in the Kárpátalja region, found today in extreme South-Western Ukraine....

In the centre of Budapest on Friday afternoon on the 53rd anniversary of the Hungarian Uprising and the twentieth anniversary of the Hungarian Republic, politicians from around Europe spoke directly to, and saluted the patriotism of, the Hungarian people, wishing them a “brighter tomorrow” in both their own and the Hungarian language.
