Court issues final ruling against nationalist “Turul” statue

The statue of the mythical turul bird erected in the 12th District in 2005 must be pulled down, the Municipal Court ruled on Wednesday. The verdict is final and may not be appealed.

The lawyer for the 12th District said the district leaders will decide after receiving the verdict whether to file for a judicial review.

The district had challenged a decision by the Central Hungary Regional Administration Office to void the permit for the statue at the corner of Istenhegyi út and Böszörményi út.

The Municipal Court ruled that no violation of regulations could be cited to justify rescinding that ruling.

    They can take away our symbols but not the truth, they dont realise that there only strengthening Hungarians by doing this, how idiotic are the Jewish Sect who are behind this whole agenda..

  2. Viking says:

    Pauli,
    Following building regulations is of course the typical hall-mark of the “Jewish Sect”.
    You actually forgot to include the whole Building Regulation, the Court System and all other Administrative parts of Hungary that has been involved in this case.
    They all belong to the “Jewish Sect”?

  3. Godot says:

    Interesting that “building regulations” are enforced when it comes to a Hungarian national symbol, but the same rules don’t apply to the holocaust memorial, which was also erected without a permit.
    Double-standards like this will not make jews any more popular.

  4. Viking says:

    Godot,
    Take the fight to the court if you fell that, not just wine – do something.

  5. Realist says:

    @Godot
    Turul is the most important mythological bird of the origin myth of the Magyars.
    @Viking So clear that you are a cunt you are so anti Hungarian in every thread, it proves your true agenda, you are a fucken cunt Viking!! a real low life Cunt!

  6. JD says:

    Such intelligent words from Realist, I’m sure Viking is truly upset :)
    I am not sure about all the double standards that exist within Hungary, you only have to see how some people are able to park where they like to realise this.
    However, Pauli’s first level of blame was on those of Jewish faith. That is a nonsense when there are far more dominant factors involved in this ruling rather than someone’s faith.
    I don’t even get the connection between this ruling over a statue of a bird and someones religion anyway.

  7. Sophie says:

    Here, here, Godot! I wonder, is it possible to track down who brought the case to void the permit, and on whose behest? I can smell a perfectly possible, and potentially successful, public protest against the demolition order, on ground that it amounts to a gratuitous assault on a much-loved Hungarian symbol. Surely Jobbik will get a petition going against the court order that voided the permit. Building regulations per se should not normally be enough to achieve this voiding, particularly since it targets only one, not all, erections of the Turul Madar kind. You rightly note that the holocaust memorial is one of those erections. (By golly! This is an outrage! It is like forbidding the display of the St George’s standard in England. Someone is clearly taunting Hungarians, and using a Hungarian court to do it.)

  8. JD says:

    Sophie, I just don’t get you, you are one of the first to call to action but the last to actually participate and do anything because you are quite happy to play armchair politics (racist politics at that) from the UK.
    If you really cared about Hungary there are countless other causes of far more benefit to Hungary and it’s population than blaming a people of religious faith for the ruling of a Municipal Court.

  9. Abácsi says:

    @Sophie. Nobody has suggested prohibiting the display of anything! It is about one particular (illegal) erection. Not Hungary, not Magyar history, not the Magyar people.
    Laws are there to obeyed by all sides, including fascists and racists. Even morons like ‘Realist’.
    Personally, the statue is fine but should it be a focus for anti-semitic, anti-democratic factions?

  10. Sophie says:

    Abácsi, refrain from usurping a dear Hungarian symbol. It is itself, not ‘a focus for anti-semitic, anti-democratic factions’.

  11. Abácsi says:

    @Sophie. To be perfectly clear for you……the statue is the focus, not the Turul itself. Nations should have a symbol (not swastika, red star or arrow cross) and Hungary has the Turul.
    Allowing a STATUE (not what it symbolizes) to be a focus for idiots is the problem.

  12. fabian says:

    JD@Sophie really does ‘participate’,believe me…

  13. Sophie says:

    Oh, nick off, Abácsi! The Turul Madár statue celebrates Hungarian-ness. It is pre-eminently appropriately erected anywhere in Hungary. Only you and yours are keen to desecrate it by calling it a ‘focus for idiots’. And why did you not add ‘star of David’ to your forbidden symbols (‘not swastika, red star or arrow cross’)?

  14. Viking says:

    Sophie,
    To avoid another “Morvai never wrote that”-debate:
    The ruling is about *where* the monument is, not *what* it is.
    Try to live with that, also.

  15. Godot says:

    I’ve heard that if the Turul statue will be demolished, the holocaust-believer monument will be used as a public urinal. It will still be an illegal structure, but at least with a practical and fitting purpose. That’s what they say…

  16. JD says:

    You know what, I have no idea if the Holocaust memorial is illegal.
    Sophie, if it is, why don’t you get off your couch politicians sad arse and take it to the Municipal Court. Godot thinks he can piss on it, but that’s just his level, you proport to be so much more sophisticated and intelligent than that. fabian thinks you participate, I think you are full of shit.
    But you won’t. Why? Because for whatever sad abuse you suffered as a child you now see fit to blame every wrong in this country on a specific religious faith and relish in doing this.

  17. Sophie says:

    Godot, you are a comic genius!

  18. SveaMagyar says:

    I can already see the Magyar Gárda stadning by the turul side and not let the Turul be taken away. I don’t understand why it should be removd for. If the Jews don’t like it then go home to Israel.

  19. Anonymous says:

    @SveaMagyar
    Exactly. This can only lead to Jobbik and/or Magyar Garda scoring more points with the people.

  20. Viking says:

    It will be interesting to see who want to take the hot potato.
    Originally this was a turf war between City of Budapest Administration and District 12 Administration. The latter have built the statue without getting approval from the City, then the City claim superiority over so called ‘main streets’ where trams and trolley-buses goes.
    The small square is connected to one such street.
    This is the legal conflict and the City has finally won the case.
    Both parts can now chicken out and just run the process to move the statue very slowly and then let the guys that come in after next Local Election in the Autumn of 2010 inherent the problem.
    The problem is that the next bunch cannot change the rules, then it has gone through the courts. The likely end of this scenario would then be that the future Bp politicians will break the law and let the statue stay.
    Another scenario, is of course a fast action and we maybe will be seeing Magyar Garda in some real action. The question if Jobbik really wants that, what if the situation gets out of hands and Budahazy again take control over the protests like with the storming of the MTV house in September 2006?
    The storming of the MTV house did not improve peoples impression of violent right-wing protests. I hardly think that some fights around a statue will be positive for the protesters. Those protests will not make people get more money to live on and will just show the right-wingers as a violent bunch, not interested in the daily life

  21. Gandi says:

    That’s it I’m bombing the f$%# outta the commie statue near the parliament building…..

  22. Civil Law says:

    This verdict is just a string of decisions highlighting how the law is protecting the criminals liars and corrupt politicians. What’s the point of fighting and losing in the courts, its obviously a win win situation for the lawless Judges and lawyers who make a killing out of the bribes and fees. I do hope Jobbik change the laws to be just again.

  23. bernie says:

    Duh! Just move the damn statue somewhere else where they can get a bloody permit then. If that don`t work then ship it off to the statue park where it will be in good company. Don`t why some sorry arse bloggers always got to start whining about Hungarian Jews and Gypsies/Roma in every discussion.
    Wow some people are such losers they got to find such idiotic excuses to complain about everything.If they erected a statue of just about anything in London without a permit, they would remove or demolish it and nobody would give a donkeys bollocks. Just here they appear to have nothing better to do and just enjoy a good ruckas. For all the Jew haters caught doing anything illegal ship them off to fight with Hamas in Gaza and for all the Gypsy haters, make them live for one year in one of the Gypsy ghettos where there is no running water, 75% unemployment and maybe 1 toilet between 5 shacks. I`m sure they would come back as changed human beings. Just as the Fidesz posters all around town say `ENOUGH`.
    Have a good weekend all.

  24. bernie says:

    SORRY …missed a word.. should be
    Don`t know why some sorry arse bloggers

  25. Viking says:

    Gandi,
    You raise an interesting point, the Soviet War Memorial. Its destruction has been a rally-point for the right-wing since some years and is normally attacked when there are some bigger protests around that area.
    What one can notice is that Jobbik has toned down its agitation about removing this statue, as Jobbik has becoming more and more Putin-friendly/Pro-Russian. One can even wonder if, in the future we will see Magyar Garda (or its planned conversion into the Hungarian Gendarmerie) standing in attention around this statue to protect it from the part of the right-wing movements that has not been eaten up by Jobbik.
    Jobbik will have a problem here, because its Pro-Russian stand comes with a price. That price is that Stalin is being rehabilitated in today’s Russia and old symbols like the 5-pointed star is regarded in high respect. So an attack on a Soviet War Memorial will create some problems for Jobbik with its new Masters.
    Conclusion: If you hate Jobbik, destroy the statue.

  26. John Boy TKD says:

    Sophie,
    What is your actual connection with Hungary? Do you have roots here? I am curious as you are clearly based in the UK and for someone with such Nationalist leanings I wonder why you are so interested in Hungary. Anyway, some direct questions for you.
    Do you hate Jews? If so, why? If not, why do you single them out as the root of all evil?
    Do you hate people in a position of power?
    If you had disproportionate power, do you think that your agenda would better serve everybody, or would you force your minortiy agenda on everybody – as you claim the Jews are doing?
    Would you ensure that everybody was treated equally – therefore protecting the symbols, culture and rights of all citizens no matter what their background?
    Do you feel that people should only reside or have full rights and freedoms in the country of their birth?

  27. Sophie says:

    John Boy TKD: Is yours meant to be a parody of AVO interrogation strategy? Or are you severely intellectually challenged? I suggest a new name for you: Petito Principii.

  28. Civil Law says:

    Soviet dictatorship is different to the Russians, and before that statue was erected stood a Trianon memorial commemorating pre-WWI. Jobbik have no connection with Soviets! Soviet regime has collapsed.

  29. John Boy TKD says:

    Sophie, They are questions. They reqiure answers, not insults. I thought you were better than that. Clearly I was wrong. I am asking you to state your prefered agenda and explain how it is better. Not too difficult for someone who has so many powerful veiws. If you are intelligent it will be easy, if you are stupid you will have no answers. Come on girl, show me what your made of. Dont bring it to the retarded level of realist (I look forward to being called a fucknosed idiot cunt!).

  30. Sophie says:

    John Boy TKD: If you so wish, I shall oblige you on Realist’s behalf. However, I have no intention of wasting my time on your inane ‘questions’. (Can any adult with an Irish education really make a grotesque syntactic error of this sort: ‘show me what your made of’? And how is it that you are now writing in Viking’s idiom?)

  31. JD says:

    Perhaps you have a little insight John Boy TKD, why honest open discussion never really gets too far on this forum with some people.
    I thought your questions were perceptive and well directed. If someone has honest and benevolent intentions for a country and its citizens that they claim to love so much, I fail to see why it is so difficult to answer the questions you posed.
    Is there something you’re not telling us Sophie?

  32. John Boy TKD says:

    Sophie,
    As you are not prepared to answer these questions I can only assume you do not want everybody to realise what you are and what you represent. I assume you do not have an agenda which stands up to scrutiny. I assume that you are not brave enough to reveal that you are in fact a hate filled, right wing, antisemetic biggot. Instead of getting involved in debate you point out syntactic errors and label them grotesque. You write eloquently but this simply serves to mask your lack of ability to put forth arguments with foundation. I have presented you with an opportunity to state your beliefs, show that you can suggest a workable alternative, and demontrate to all why it is that you are so passionate about Hungary. The fact is that you are too cowardly to say exactly what you feel, or perhaps you are just aware that your arguments will collapse under pressure. You are simply a mouth piece. I put it to you that you are here to inflame opinions, encourage your own baseless views, and find followers to massage your ego and help you justify your poisonous veiws. Your veiws are so marginlised in the UK that you have sought an alternative in Hungary. You are preying on peoples fears, capitalising on social divisions and failing at every opportunity to actually make a contribution to intellectual debate or suggest anything close to a meaningful alternative. You are completely and utterly spineless. I will leave you to views as there is no point in arguing with a fool.

  33. John Boy TKD says:

    JD – thanks for the support. It is good to know that there are others prepared to stand up to hate – their own version of intellectual (sic) terrorism.
    It has been a pleasure to meet you.

  34. JD says:

    I would not wish to distract Sophie from answering since she will quickly seize on a trivial minutiae to dodge revealing her true agenda, however, it is the prevelance of people of her ilk on this forum that is sadly turning discussions into a farce.
    If it were comical at least it would have some entertainment value.
    I hope you’ll stick around for a bit John Boy TKD, I think your contribution is valuable. There are also others that would enter into a sensible and open debate (e.g. Viking) that are often blocked by blinkered, immature and most of all, unintelligent comment.

  35. John Boy TKD says:

    JD – sure will! I am taking a holiday next week, no access to a computer. But I will be back!

    Civil Law,
    “I do hope Jobbik change the laws to be just again”
    Which laws should be changed and into what?
    Jobbik will remove all need to ask for building permits? Is that what you want?
    Or should laws be executed/interpreted on political grounds?
    “Jobbik have no connection with Soviets!”
    Eeehh, yes that we can agree about.
    But what I actually wrote was that the old Soviet-times, like seeing Stalin as a good ruler and not a ruthless dictator, is gaining grounds in Russia. Very much supported by the ruling KGB-Mafia, then it serves their purpose of curtailing “Western Democracy”. That was not needed when Great Stalin was alive, so it is not needed now either.
    Part of this revival is equalling Russia with Soviet, meaning all that Soviet did, Russia did. Hence any Soviet War Memorial is a Russian War Memorial. Anyway it was ‘our people who died there’. That is the argument.
    Try to say to the Russians that we fuck your WWII and you will have a pain to remember.
    Jobbik loves the current situation in Russia, how “Western Democracy” is being curtailed. Putin is the big hero. You do not mess around with heroes for a small statue, especially as Jobbik see Hungary’s big economical future with close co-operation with Russia.
    Jobbik = Back to the USSR

    IT’s so great to see some people here that can give some decent push on this anoying radicals. For along time I wasn’t even reading comments. It was such a huge collection of insults for any question or atempt of dialogue that was unusefull. Maybe one day I will be even proud of sugesting this site for other people just trying to get information and not a cursing encyclopedia.
    Please, keep typing poeple of good arguments. The others could go out and enjoy the sunshine in peace.

  39. BaldEagle says:

    If it isn’t obvious that the jews (please note no capitalization)are behind it then you are blind as a bat. Just look back a few years and you’ll find other examples where they destroy or try to destroy, and falsify history. They accuse our great patriots of antisemitism, they remove statues our former-greats from public places, steal our national treasures, such as the former american ambassador (female)who took several paintings by Hungarian painters when she left and went to israel (no capitalization). The jews are the curse of the world. They are God’s way of punishing the world. They are the modern-pestilance. Regretibly, they control Hungary and other countries as well, such as the USA. The jewish mosad was behind the killing of President Kennedy, and the then chief of the US supreme court (also a jew) covered it up. I curse all jews, forever. Amen.

  40. Viking says:

    BaldEagle,
    “If it isn’t obvious that the jews…are behind it then you are blind as a bat”
    True that bats do not see things as you and your rabid Jew-haters do, but bats are very good at navigating their way through the daily hinders and obstacles that life puts up.
    Something you and your friends are obviously missing and taking it out on others.
    It is my surprise that you do not blame the Jews for the Swine-Flu also. It must of course be an attempt to attack the Hungarian Way Of Life. Just remember that Jews do not eat pork and you have the obvious conspiracy there, open for every one to see. How stupid everyone else are.
    Obviously you are not of the Catholic faith, so how can you have any sympathy for that IRA-agent Kennedy? He was anyway just a communist (please note no capitalization) who killed the Angel Of The West And True Faith (please note capitalization) aka Marilyn Monroe.

  41. Civil Law says:

    Putin crushed the Oligarchs, this was the beginning of freedom to the Russians from the Jewish mafia.

  42. John Boy TKD says:

    Bald Eagle, The biggest art heist was committed by the Nazi regime, the biggest genocide of the 20th century were committed against the Jews (many millions dead, gas chambers… Ring any bells for you?). Countries were annexed, like Poland, the Sudetenland in Czech Republic, the Nazi brand was marched all over Europe. The worlds tyrannies are to be found in Pakistan, Afghanistan, North Korea, the drug cartels of South America, the hard core right wing Christian militias in Africa who recruit child armies and rampage through the world raping, mutilating, and murdering. The Christian right wing is probably the strongest lobby group in the US – not the Jews. Robert Mugabe does not allow access to clean water and denies a cholera epidemic while crippling the country with his brand of nationalist isolationism. The last genocide in Europe happened scarily close to our borders in the Balkans conflict. Where were the Jews for that one? So please wake up and realize that it is the entire human race which is capable of theft, murder and worse. The Israeli’s are responsible for their fair share of the worlds problems but the do not hold a monopoly on evil. And I suggest that you start to readdress what constitutes an evil act. Are art theft and campaigning against statues really in the same league as genocide, mass rape, Taliban style interpretation of Sharia law and world hunger? Get your priorities in order.

  43. Curious Joe says:

    Gas Chambers what gas Chambers? The concrete buildings which have a big question mark over them? There was no cynide gas found in these chambers, all a hoax my friends.. A huge hoax!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  44. Sophie says:

    What arrangements have the ghastlies made for the actual removal the 12th District Turul Madar? Who can be talked into physically carrying out this insolent act of desecration? Is it to be done in the dead of night? Will they dynamite it? In any case, what statement do the ghastlies imagine they will have made, when the mean spirit of their initiative is already stamped all over it? It certainly hurt when the Rákosi gang cannibalised noble Hungarian bronzes to erect the monstrous Stalin statue in 1951. That rubbed in a point very sorely. But scope for doing that is no longer available to them, in the current political circumstance. They can no longer frighten. They are just contemptible.

  45. Viking says:

    Civil Law,
    “Putin crushed the Oligarchs, this was the beginning of freedom to the Russians from the Jewish mafia”
    And the continuation of the surviving KGB-Mafia run State.
    The KGB-created the “Russian Mafia,” which is blamed for the corruption, violence, chaos, and mayhem that have plagued Russia since it “went capitalist.”
    In truth, all of the leading Russian crime bosses, the “oligarchs,” — Loutchansky, Gusinsky, Berezovsky, Khordokovsky, Mogilevich — are veterans of the KGB-FSB and/or the Komsomol, the Communist Youth, and were “set up” in business by the KGB.
    And where did Put in come from? Right, KGB.
    This has just been a fight inside the Mafia, a typical War of the Bosses.
    And Jobbik is supporting the current Boss.

  46. Godot says:

    Viking, for the first time you’re not completely wrong. Russia is really a mafia-ruled state, corrupt from top to bottom.

  47. Sophie says:

    Godot, I was last in Russia about a year ago. Food halls are well stocked, people are employed, and the general mood is optimistic. The bitter misery of the Yeltsin/oligarch years is well and truly over. Nobody is detonating bombs there these days, either. There are strange things, too. For instance, the ‘oligarch’ Deripaska is a Putin insider. He is a close friend of Britain’s second-most senior politician, Mandelson, and of Nathan Rothschild. The spectacularly failed Royal Bank of Scotland wrote off two sets of £2 million debts of Deripaska’s. (No explanation offered, and none sought by the political class.) Now, this Russian mafia: how far afield does it stretch? When you say that Russia is corrupt from top to bottom, I wonder if this is a unique Russian condition. (Then the mind boggles, and I become really frightened.)

  48. Sophie says:

    For my earlier ‘£2 million’ please substitute ‘£2 billion’. The former sum is less than small change in this context. (Whoops!)

  49. Godot says:

    Sophie,
    Look at the “career” of Abramovich for example.
    How and where he made his money and how and where he spends it. He sucks wealth out of Russia and spends it in the UK. Is it really good for Russia?

  50. BaldEagle says:

    Viking, MM was a hooker who OD-ed on morphin. JFK just screwed her a few times as many other hundreds done. But a HOOKER, she was.
    John Boy, as your name indicates you are a kid, a minor and should not listen to the jewish tales about “stories” of the Germans. They simply tried to stop communism, the red manace that we all came to hate, but that egomaniac english cigar smoking drunk bum, aka Wilson influenced the west to go against him. During the war more artworks were stolen by American soldiers then anybody else. The looting goes on, jewish ambassador to Hungary is one. She had truckloads of artwork taken form Hungary, directly to her homeland israel, NOT the USA. Jews areraeli agents with US passport. As far as Bosnia is concerned, the jews went there AFTER the “action” to “pickup the pieces”, that is rob that country of their national treasures. There are more stolen artwork in israel than in all of Europe.
    And speaking of Russia, the jews hate Putin because he will not let them rob that country. While I did not like them during the occupation years (Hungary) I do respect them now very much, just continue to keep those sticky-fingered-stinking jews out of Russia. Go Putin, GO.
    The jews are best described and illustrated in a fine-book, titled: The Ewige Jew. The book illustrates the jewish race. Everybody should read and see it.

  51. Sophie says:

    Godot, of course Abramovich is not good for Russia. And Deripaska was not good for the UK. Yet both are active, and apparently approved by Putin and the UK politicos. This is where I cease to be able to understand what the heck is happening.
    BaldEagle: I’d like to think that your trust in Putin is well placed. We are pretty much out in the cold, if not.

  52. JD says:

    I am quite stunned by the amount of people commenting on this forum who are so consumed by hatred of a religion that their words resemble that of the Nazi’s.
    How sad these threads have come.
    I am sad also since this is the one thing that Hungary really does NOT need at this point in time to pull it out of the classification of basket case of Europe.

  53. Godot says:

    BaldEagle: “the jews hate Putin because he will not let them rob that country”.
    Abramovich is a jew. What do you make of that?

  54. Bela says:

    The statue-case is a good example of how SZDSZ tries to anger the extreme right to make them larger. First, identifying the Turul with nazis is really something that looks good for foreigners (who do not know history) but sounds quite fantastic for people in the country.
    Because the connection is quite made up, the Turul was a national symbol for a long time. Even claiming that it is a Nazi symbol is simply an offense, and here I do not want to produce similar nonsense concerning the symbols of other countries.
    With this move, Demszky not only wants to anger (all the) the right wing, but wants to present himself a the defender of the Jewish people. Then, these Jewish people will support him politically, since “he is defending them.” However, this has very bad consequences, since it looks like that Jewish people in general offend national symbols of Hungary. But, actually, this is what he wants. Knowing Demszky, who became completely cynical and corrupt, it is clear that he does not care about other people, jewish or non-jewish. His move creates the atmosphere that people forget about the non-existing metro. the 16 years old buses, etc. (They did not buy any buses for 6-8 years because all the money went into the metro.) Also, note the minor point: The district wanted the statue. Normally, the Capital in this case does not care. (The districts run themselves as much automously as possible.) Just a message for liberals.

  55. BaldEagle says:

    Godot, kivetel erositi a szabalyokat. As long as one keeps tabs on the jews. An ounce of prevention’s worth a pound of medicine, the old saying goes.

    BaldEagle,
    “viking, “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. Couldn’t you have come up with your own thought?”

  58. Olipro says:

    I’m British and I go past that Turul regularly, I think it looks lovely.
    Fuck the Turul statue, focus on that soviet shit at Moszkva tér first.

  59. beju says:

    Dear Olipro,
    You are mixing apples with oranges.
    The Soviet monument has nothing to do with Hungary. It represents communist/jewish repression since WWII, where your country Britain played no choirboy role in designing and implementing it at the detriment of mine.
    Let alone dismembering my country after WWI at Trianon, you have the balls to inquire about the Turul. It is an ancient Hungarian symbol, my uneducated British whoever. You guys should submit an application for visa to visit, and maybe take the time to immerse in the injustices you had done to my country, you dumbass.

  60. beju says:

    And boy I’m glad to have found you my Brit visitor.
    What do you think preserved the Soviet monument yet?
    This is a trivia question.
    No?…..not a clue?
    The friggin’ jews you asshole, you have installed on our heads. You have the same set at home, just don’t friggin’ realize it yet. Grow up!

  61. Viking says:

    beju,
    “What do you think preserved the Soviet monument yet? .. The friggin’ jews”
    Do not despair beju, Jobbik and Magyar Garda is gearing up to protect that Soviet/Russia WWII War Memorial, now when they are more interested in protecting the Russian (and Top Gangster Put in) interests here.
    That will be a nice fight to look forward to:
    beju vs Magyar Garda.
    Who holds the money?

    @+Energy: Re forced wage parity, please refer to the experience of Germany post-1990. Short answer is that workers in West Germany were (and are) more producive than those in the east, and by equalizing wages all it did was create more unemployment in the east. Same with Hungary and other former COMECON countries. And this is the beauty of turbo-capitalism: eventually, wages always align with productivity, meaning people are paid what they deserve. Meanwhile, I assume you are also happy for Romanians and Bulgarians to be paid the same as Hungarians… :)

  66. +Energy says:

    The Expats that come and work in Hungary level of productivity is a lower standard and work ethic then many Hungarians in my business, it’s all false speculation from loosers like yourself. I see Hungarian staff working extra hours for less money while expats come here with big Ego’s to try and screw the Hungarian girls. Many end up being bashed and robbed in the Night clubs, which they deserve.

  67. Erik says:

    @+Energy: Actually, I won’t argue with you re the productivity of many expat managers versus their compensation… which is why many multinationals do what they can to promote locals. In many cases, however, the reverse is true, and foreign managers can add a lot of value. As for your comment about them deserving a good bashing outside a nightclub, all you are doing is perpetuating the stereotype that Hungarians are violent thugs, which is not something I think any real patriot would want to do. No?

  68. Viking says:

    +Energy,
    “Ok if we are all European give us the same wages as the rich western European cousins?”
    You want the costs that comes with that also?
    That daily necessities are 2-5 times more expensive?
    Believe me, the net you would take out in Stockholm or in Budapest and the life quality you can have – I chose Budapest.
    Except the rising xenophobia in Hungary today, life quality is better here.
    Get a grip of your life. There are no golden pavements in the West. Just hard work and grey weather.
    If you really want total equality, introduce the Euro, then you can really compare.

  69. +Energy says:

    @ Erik
    Understand and agree, I meant no harm to the expats , but they come here to exploit our women and look upon them as easy prey. On many occasions when I meet an French, American or Uk citizens I discover this is there prime reason to travel here. I wish the sex industry would be regulated and eventually outlawed. I know it would be a difficult process but at least policed properly, with a red light district maybe, one of the oldest professions I know.

    We can all agree that all religions are stupid, and jews have the most filthy and disgusting religion of them all. I don’t think this is a matter of debate any more.

  73. Viking says:

    Godot,
    “jews have the most filthy and disgusting religion of them all”.
    OMG we have a real Theologian amongst us.
    Could you, as a self-confessed Atheist, please describe the difference between Judaism and Christianity?

  74. B+ says:

    Judaism are Satan worshipers

  75. Viking says:

    B+,
    “Judaism are Satan worshipers”
    Jesus was a Jew, did he worship Satan?
    For several 100s of years only Jews could become Christian, were they also “Satan worshipers”?
    Your ‘logic’ is a bit lacking and that is probably not the only thing lacking with you.

  76. B+ says:

    Jesus didn’t worship Satan

  77. judas says:

    For months now the fate of the turul statue erected in Buda about three years ago has been in limbo. The turul is a mythical bird resembling an eagle or a falcon. According to legend there was a woman named Emese who was visited by an eagle/falcon in her dream. She became pregnant and gave birth to Álmos (in Hungarian dream is “álom”), the man who eventually led the seven Hungarian tribes to their new homeland in the Carpathian basin. The legend was most likely born when the Hungarians lived side by side with Turkic tribes because the word “turul” is of Turkic origin. As time went by the turul wasn’t so much the symbol of the Hungarian royal house as of power, war, and nobility in general. Such totem animals are well known the world over as parts of coats of arms; one can even find an eagle in the Great Seal of the United States. To this day the turul appears in the coat of arms of the Hungarian Army and the Office of National Security. So far, so good. So what’s wrong with that statue of the turul in District XII?
    First of all, this particular statue was erected without a permit. The erection of a statue on public property must have the permission of a board whose members can decide about the artistic merit and the appropriateness of a particular work of art. The board wasn’t too taken with either the artistic merit or the appropriateness of this statue. One can certainly argue about the artistic value of this or that work of art, but when it came to the appropriateness of the statue there were grave doubts. The statue was supposed to commemorate the civilian victims of the district during the bombing and the subsequent siege of Budapest in World War II. But why use the symbol of the army as a memorial to civilian victims?
    Then there was the problem that the turul had been used as a symbol of radical right-wing student organizations between the two world wars. In 1920 the right radical students of Budapest established the Turul Bajtársi Szövetség (Brotherhood Association of Turul) whose favorite pastime was beating up their fellow students of Jewish origin. The Turul Association had a very important part to play in the enactment of the law discriminating against Jews in admission to institutes of higher education (numerus clausus). A vivid description of the not infrequent “celebrations” of students of the Turul Association can be found in András Nyerges’s masterful account in “Március, kardlap, gumibot” (March, sword, night-stick) in the March 16, 2007 issue of Élet és Irodalom. The events described by Nyerges bear an uncanny resemblance to what has been going on in Budapest in the last couple of years. Rather frightening. In any case, the modern history of the turul was not something that was deemed appropriate as a memorial to the victims of 1944-45. In addition, early in the history of the Arrow Cross Party the turul was featured in the party’s emblem.

    Viking,
    Your messed up comprehensive conspiracies fill up a whole attic you dumb Swede.
    The Magyar Garda protecting the Soviet monument…hmm…
    Are you out of your crispy mind?
    You really don’t know what the hell you’re ranting about on this forum.
    Allow me to put your disentangled mind at ease.
    The Russians under Putin managed to throw off their jewish chains and actively prosecute them for their crimes. We haven’t got there yet, but will in a matter of months. Should Russia help us to do the same, I’d leave the monument. It’s called politics you dummy Wallenberg.

  81. Viking says:

    beju,
    Thank You!
    You allow me, yet again to push my favourite at the moment:

    Time for pause and self-analysis.
    In fact recanting.

    Viking in his blonde/swedish/liberal affiliation actually got offended by Hungarians telling him and his ideas off. He does live in Hungary however and tries to steer our thoughts in his aberrate Scandinavian directions.
    Raoul Wallenberg reborn.
    No thanks you doorknob swedish piece of crap. Not again. Especially from your kind. Steer them to your country should it be feasible. Then once it’s done I’ll reside in Sweden and bitch about Swedish recalcitrance and intolerance.
    Treat this as a bet again.

  83. beju says:

    beju,
    I would love that you moved to Sweden. They are so boring there and need someone like you.
    I live in Hungary for a reason and you in California, maybe for the same reason – the grass is greener on the other side of the fence?
    Nice to see that you feel depressed on behalf on me, that is heart-warming.

  85. beju says:

    Now that’s a compliment.
    Not that it would change the course of our disagreements, but thanks. In fact, warming your heart warms mine cautiously. Unless you’re a hot Swedish blond forget it babe, it ain’t gonna happen.

    beju,
    “And why exactly should Obama’s jews be better, than Putin’s? I don’t get the pun”
    Our resident Jobbik-supporters have several times claimed the the new Russia under Put in ‘threw out the jewish oligarchs’ and is trying to give the impression that Russia today is ‘Jude-frei’.
    Well if you check my link to this Jewish guy, who I have not a clue about, I just found him on the Internet, he is writing:
    “And after the dark times of Stalin, Andropov, etc. they are finally opening the door to their local Jewish talent and are actively luring back people from Israel. I know many Russian Jewish engineers who are now with one foot in Kever Benjamin and the other in some gigantic project in Russia”
    Obviously all the BS, from Sophie, including yourself, to the Illinois Nazis, against Jews are based on that:
    ‘jew = communist & communist = jew’.
    Obviously Put in does not do this distinction, but maybe he is also controlled by the ‘jews’?
    ———
    Finally you can read this on Jobbik.com:
    “Jobbik now is in a lone position in Hungary by supporting Russia
    ….
    The new Russia should be a natural choice of Hungary in the region and Jobbik will support the reconsideration of current and improving future diplomatic and economic relations between Russia and Hungary.
    Zoltan Fuzessy
    Vice-President, Foreign Committee
    Jobbik – The Movement For A Better Hungary”
    ———-
    Jobbik is the 5th column storm-troopers of the new Russia in Hungary and you are supporting the old KGB-guys coming back.

  87. Hate vibe says:

    Of course everyone knows the holocaust was a massive false flag. The NSDAP – started by Jews. Hitler – A Zionist Jew. The SA – a club for Jewish thugs. The SS – so obviously Jewish. Jews sent over a million innocents to their deaths at Auschwitz and made it look like it was being perpetrated AGAINST Jews just to get a bit of sympathy. In fact, Jews started up the whole Nazi thing just to get Nazis a bad name. I am sure that comrades Sophie and +Energy will confirm this. Bark…woof…nurse…NURSE!

  88. beju says:

    Viking,
    I did recommend you to study history didn’t I, but your stubborn ego obviously doesn’t allow you to do so. Too bad.
    Russia under Putin and now Medvedev cleaned the country of jews from high positions inherited from Yeltsin. Bolshevism in Russia originated from jews who ran the country as they tried to do in Hungary in 1919, and continued doing since 1948.
    If some of your Russian friends speculate that Russia tries to lure jews back from Israel, you’re being fed manure my friend. They once and hopefully for all managed to lose their chains as far as their jewish influence is concerned.
    Jobbik is taking advice from Putin how to get rid of them once in power. The Soviet monument has already been decided as getting moved to a military cemetery.
    Read between the lines Raoul.

  89. Viking says:

    beju,
    To summarize your history-writing:
    1) “Bolshevism in Russia originated from jews who ran the country”
    2) “Russia under Putin and now Medvedev cleaned the country of jews from high positions inherited from Yeltsin”
    ============
    Conclusion: In Soviet Jews were not running the show after Stalin came to power?
    First Yeltsin brought them back to power?
    ————
    3) Jews is running Hungary today “and continued doing since 1948″
    ============
    If Stalin did not use any Jews at home, why should he allow them to run Hungary then?
    Stalin was a bit of a control-freak, you know.
    ————
    4) “Jobbik is taking advice from Putin how to get rid of them once in power”
    ============
    So Put in is personally calling you every Friday evening and giving advice?
    ————
    5) “The Soviet monument has already been decided as getting moved to a military cemetery”
    ============
    I assume you have OK from Put in to move that War Memorial?
    It is a bi-lateral agreement with Russia today that regulates everything and moving it without a previous agreement from Russia will break that agreement and not make it easier to implement The Jobbik Master Plan
    “improving future diplomatic and economic relations between Russia and Hungary’
    If you want to read more about Zoltan Fuzessy, Vice-President, and in Jobbik’s Foreign Committee go to (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1911033.ece) and read SUNs article titled:
    ‘Top Euro Nazi’s hate site run from terraced house … in Gravesend’

  90. beju says:

    My dear Swedish friend,
    Let me paragraphically answer your seditious claims.
    1) “Bolshevism in Russia originated from jews who ran the country”
    Yes it did. Name by name they were all provenly jewish from Lenin to Kaganovich and Zsdanov. A to Z.
    2) “Russia under Putin and now Medvedev cleaned the country of jews from high positions inherited from Yeltsin”
    ============
    Conclusion: In Soviet Jews were not running the show after Stalin came to power?
    First Yeltsin brought them back to power?
    No. With Yeltsin, they became more ambitious and brave to milk whatever else was still available for further and endless milking of Russian society. The rest continues my Swedish friend.
    ————

  91. beju says:

    cont.
    3) Jews is running Hungary today “and continued doing since 1948″
    Yes they do and sorry for not being able to furnish you with an excavator for your eyes to see it living there.
    ============
    If Stalin did not use any Jews at home, why should he allow them to run Hungary then?
    Stalin was a bit of a control-freak, you know.
    Stalin was jewish himself and used his jewish bolshevik henchmen to do his dirty work. Your point being?
    ————
    4) “Jobbik is taking advice from Putin how to get rid of them once in power”
    Putin has done it. Has done it to the benefit of his nation successfully. Advice never hurts as to how to get rid of a parasite.
    ============
    So Put in is personally calling you every Friday evening and giving advice?
    I don’t get this one, obviously Sweden has more intricate interpretations. Like gunar swendingson. Are you gunar related to bajnai?
    ————
    5) “The Soviet monument has already been decided as getting moved to a military cemetery”
    Yes it is. Get a grip.
    ============

  92. Stan says:

    The Soviet memorial has got to go, but beware of the Russian hackers, remember what they did to Estonia?
    We really need two separate Internets: one for civilized nations, and another one for Asians and Africans and the damn Russkies.

  93. Viking says:

    beju,
    “Stalin was jewish himself and used his jewish bolshevik henchmen to do his dirty work. Your point being?”
    Stalin was not a Jew. There are no credible evidence on that, more that your lot is claiming that with ridiculous word-games as the main argument.
    As early as 1907, Stalin wrote a letter differentiating between a “Jewish faction” and a “true Russian faction” in Bolshevism.
    Stalin’s secretary Boris Bazhanov stated that Stalin made crude anti-Semitic outbursts even before Lenin’s death.
    Stalin did not trusting anybody and felt threatened by a vast Jewish conspiracy.
    Stalin seems not to be so different from A. Hitler and beju in this sense, that is my point.
    ——————
    So this supports what the Israeli Water Engineer is writing:
    “after the dark times of Stalin, Andropov, etc. they are finally opening the door to their local Jewish talent and are actively luring back people from Israel”
    I know it does not fit into your stone picture of the world, but these are the real facts accepted by mainstream.
    ——————
    I am still missing any info on when the Soviet War Memorial will be moved from the centre of BP, to some obscure War Cemetery.
    Do you have any link on that?
