President meets young survivor of Roma murder in hospital

The Kisléta girl whose mother was murdered nine days ago is no longer in a critical condition, President László Sólyom told reporters after he and ethnic minority rights ombudsman Ernő Kállai visited her at Jósa András hospital in Nyíregyháza yesterday.

The head of state added that the “strong-willed” 13-year-old Roma girl had convinced him that she wants to recover, and he and Kállai will continue to closely follow her prospects.

Sólyom said his office will grant the girl all the help she needs to get over her mother’s death and to pursue further studies, if she wants.

Kállai expressed special thanks to Sólyom for visiting the girl, and for his statements following the attack. Kisléta mayor Sándor Pénzes accompanied the girl’s grandmother and aunt for the President’s visit.

    I’m sure solyom and his ilk offered the same thorough support for Nora’s family who was brutally raped and murdered last year, to the terrorized seniors of Borsod and vicinity et. al while inquiring with the intelligence agencies why such a shoddy workmanship should require his intervention when Sandor Palota is so cozy and comfy.
    I’m sure bajnai gave him ample reasons and pills to chill him down on the way from his residence and back as one of the architects of our “constitution” not to feel the effects of what a ludicrous smelling ass he is. His is only one notch better than Goncz, the complete traitor of our nation.

    beju,
    So your problem is that the President for All Hungarians (not only the ones living in Hungary, but even for you in the US) visits a 13 year old victim hat was shot in the face during an apparent hate-crime against the non-Hungarian minority she belongs to.
    The President for All Hungarians should of course only visit ‘Real Hungarians’, not anyone from any of these low-life minorities, like the Roma, Jews and Schwab.
    And you wonder why people have a problem with you self-proclaimed ‘Hungarians’?
