Jobbik in the National Parliament

Jobbik MEP Krisztina Morvai and MEP Csanad Szegedi, the party's vice-president made their debut in the Hungarian Parliament on Tuesday. The Jobbik MEP's were granted the possibility to comment on the new 2010 budget at the National Assembly.

Krisztina Morvai pointed out that there are two main problems with the budget: it is proposed by the very same politicians who ruined the country,
and it will assist them to continue to further rob and privatise the country. Ms Morvai also emphasised the need to sweep those out of power and make them responsible for the damages they had caused to Hungary.

Jobbik's first MEP also warned about individually different leaders who would serve the same neoliberal policies that seem to have failed in all over Europe. "Localisation instead of globalisation", she added, supporting local farms, the mid and small Hungarian businesses in the economy. "May God give us.. brighter future" she finished her speech with the salute of the newly established and reformed Hungarian Guard.

MEP Csanad Szegedi, the vice-president of the party also commented on the 2010 budget - please see video and full script below.

Szegedi Csanad MEP:

Respected House, Ladies and Gentleman.
For us, Jobbik, it has been clear from the outset
that you are incapable of directing this country's affairs,
but not even we could have predicted how odious a move
this new budget would turn out to be.
How delightful it is that a Jobbik parliamentarian rising to speak
results in Socialist members leaving the chamber,
in the interests of the country, it would probably be best if you were never to return,
well perhaps only to collect your papers;
and then perhaps we can hope that we will never see your like again.
You clear desire to continue in an anti-rural programme of measures,
and complete the destruction of village communities,
puts even Ceausescu himself, at the height of his powers, to shame.
Jobbik only has one recommendation with respect to this proposed budget,
namely that it be consigned as it is, to being torn up and thrown into the nearest dustbin.
And instead of staging walkouts or engaging in heckling,
perhaps the government would be kind enough to answer the question
as to whether this budget was written by Jan Slota or Simon Peres.
Because a Hungarian would never have authored such a budget,
would not propose it and definitely wouldn’t vote in favour of it.
Once again you seek to maltreat the very people
whom you have been demeaning for the past 20 years.
Those nurses, doctors, teachers, smallholders, smallbusiness-men, and fire-fighters
who have by their efforts carried this country on their backs for the past two decades.
While you have created a paradise for sinecured bureaucrats, benefit cheats,
corrupt bankers, political gangsters and gypsy criminals.
When Jobbik speaks of fighting unemployment, or about establishing a rural Gendarmerie,
your reaction is always to respond that there simply is no money.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, in years past, you have built a motorway for two billion Forint
when everyone knew it could have been constructed for half that.
You’ve made settlements in hundreds of millions
while a third of the population dwells in poverty.
You build bridges and tunnels in the middle of nowhere,
while the roads are impassable in the Bekes County suburbs.
You construct a new Metro line for HUF 500 billion when for that money,
a competent politician could have constructed a branch line from Budapest to Vienna.
You spend billions on the integration of Romas,
while Hungarians languish in petrified quarantine from Roma criminality.
And after all this, you have the nerve
to say there is no money?
You have stolen it, dear "comrades", that's why.
As a Jobbik member I am forced to agree with Tibor Draskovics,
yes there most certainly is political terrorism in Hungary.
This budget itself constitutes political terrorism.
Thank you very much.

Many people assumed that Jobbik in parliament would abandon the impetus
and energy with which the voters have become familiar,
but today we have continued to prove,
as indeed our speeches in the European Parliament demonstrate,
that a completely new Hungary is being built here,
and we're witnessing he dawn of a new era.
There is no longer any place for obfuscation or the deliberate avoidance of the issues.
as the parliamentary parties have until now been doing.
We have to express resolutely and without hesitation
what the interests of the Hungarian nation are.
During the budget debate it was quite common to hear
members remark, "There is no money, no money."
Yet Jobbik has consistently refuted this by saying, yes, there is money in Hungary,
but it has simply been systematically stolen for he past 20 years.
There is money, multinational companies have to be adequately taxed,
the banks must bear their fair share of the tax burden also.
Neither will Jobbik shirk from confiscate the fortunes amassed by Gyurcsany-type political criminals.
There will be money in Hungary. And as an inescapable parliamentary party we will strive
to build a Hungary where to be a Hungarian living in this country will be good and advantageous thing.
