Anti-fascists condemn attack on Jobbik MEPs nationalist store

The Hungarian anti-fascist organisation MEASZ said on Sunday that it condemned an attack vandalising the shop of radical right Jobbik MEP Csanad Szegedi in Budapest.

MEASZ said in a statement that it “most resolutely” condemned the act of vandalism against the “irredentist” shop despite a firm belief that followers of Jobbik are among those that most vehemently entice arbitrariness and violence in society.

A police investigation is underway against unknown perpetrators who early on Sunday broke the windows of Szegedi’s shop in central Budapest, stole some objects and spray-painted the word “antifa” and the hammer-and-sickle sign on the building.

    Spineless cowards,can’t beat Jobbik at the ballot box so you resort to mindless vandalism-so typical,so pathetic.

    I sure there would have been a wave of comments if this had been an attack on a Jewish bookshop?

    ==========Start of SPV============================
    Think of the TIMING of this attack!!!
    It is very suspicious now when the loony right is hard pressed after being proven wrong that Roma are not responsible for all murders in Hungary, this attack comes to discredit the Left that speaks the TRUTH.
    It MUST be clear for any RIGHT-thinking person that it MUST be the loony right behind these attacks.
    ==========End of SPV============================
    So, now I await a flood of explanations why TIMING ALWAYS works for the ‘Nationalist’, or ‘Fascist’ side (as Ricsi like to call them), but never the other way around…
    Personally I condemn all type of violence and damage, especially politically motivated. Individual terror is over 100 years old, but has been successfully applied in different theatres over the world.
