Parliament approves investigation into neo-Nazi demonstration

Parliament’s constitutional committee on Monday supported by an overwhelming majority a proposal to set up an ad hoc committee to evaluate police activities at neo-Nazi demonstrations.

Government and opposition deputies voted in favour of the proposal, submitted by vice-chair Robert Repassy, of main opposition Fidesz, which seeks to establish why the police did not disperse a neo-Nazi demonstration in Budapest’s Castle District on April 18. The committee is also to find out whether it is police routine not to disperse a crowd even if they are lawless or violate the rights of other people.

The proposal also noted that the paramilitary Hungarian Guard of the radical nationalist Jobbik Party had organised the April 18 protest in front of the German Embassy to demonstrate their denial of the Holocaust and to raise their voice against “Zionist world rule”.

The police did not disperse the event, though legal proceedings were initiated against two speakers under charges of inciting hatred against a community.

    Oooooh! Jobbik is really rattling the zionist cage! Hungarians, you are truly magnificient! You know, a demo against ‘holocaust denial’ laws simply would not happen in the West: we are too frightened of the powers that be.
