The beautiful Budapest and much of the rest of Hungary is returning to fascism. Recent elections in Hungary have put the right wing Fidisz Party and the anti-Semitic Jobbik Party in power. New laws have given the government control over much of the media. Civil servants can now be fired without cause. The Chair of the anti-Semitic Party, Gabor Vona, recently showed off a uniform that was reminicent of the Nazi party during WWII.
Hungary embraced their version of the Nazi party during WWII. Called the ArrowArrow Cross Party, it was still sending Jews to their deaths after Adolf Eichmann had fled. After WWII Hungary became a satellite country of the USSR.
It is troubling to see a country that seems on the surface so civilized and accomplished turn to a disgraced and hate inspired philosophy.
"Neo-fascist thugs attacked RomaRoma families, killing six people in a series of murders. The right-wing populists of the Fidesz Party won a two-thirds majority in the parliament, while the anti-Semitic Jobbik party captured 16.7 percent of the vote, making it the third-largest party in Hungary, next to the Socialists. Unknown vandals defiled the Holocaust Memorial with bloody pigs' feet"Der Spiegel
