Fidesz deputy head says Socialist chair can “go to hell”

“Let her go to hell. How dare she?” Fidesz deputy chairman Zoltán Pokorni said in an interview with ATV television station on Thursday morning.

Pokorni was responding to a statement made by Socialist Party chairwoman Ildikó Lendvai that Fidesz chairman Viktor Orbán will be responsible for all Holocaust denials.

Pokorni said he understands “Lendvai’s bitter feelings, but she should not get it out of her system by branding Fidesz a fascist and arrow-cross party”.

“The problem is not that Pokorni sent her to hell but that Fidesz did not send the Holocaust deniers to hell,” Lendvai told Klubrádió on Thursday.

Fidesz spokesman Péter Szíjjártó said it is unworthy the way the Socialists are attempting to discredit Pokorni over the Holocaust denial matter.

    Lendvai is a wonderful portrait of ‘socialism’ in Hungary! I hope she stays around until the elections. Her scary face and history will send voters rushing to Jobbik. This mummified ghastly is presumably also senile, for she would not have raised the sceptre of her existence at this point if she were not, and especially not with her viciously spluttered and downright stupidly aimed and worded attack on Orbán. Fidész and Jobbik cannot have hoped for a more persuasive campaigner.

    Yes, but she is a mean, cunning criminal and shouldn’t be underestimated as to what she’s capable of in order to maintain her power and her party’s repression of Hungarian society.
    These crooks will not leave unless lined up against the wall with a barrel of a gun.
