Radical nationalist activist gets one year suspended prison term

Radical nationalist activist Gyorgy Budahazy was sentenced to one year prison, suspended for three years, by a Budapest court on Wednesday.

Budahazy has been charged with “making preparations to overturn constitutional order by force.”

A court had previously acquitted him of the charges but the Budapest court has now blocked that ruling and issued a sentence.

In June this year, Budahazy was accused of planning and carrying out terrorist acts against MPs. He has been in preliminary detention since and was taken to Wednesday’s court hearing by members of a commando unit. Around 50 of his followers, dressed in black uniform, waited and greeted him at the court building.

Budahazy, who has played a prominent role in several violent anti-government demonstrations over the past years, had been arrested several times in the past.

  3. Dove says:

    If the guy is guilty so be it,since when did Jobbik party ever advocate fire bombings terrorista acts is my question to first commenter.

  4. Viking says:

    Well, there are many examples on close cooperation between Budahazy and Jobbik. Enough just to check out this web-site a few weeks before he got arrested the latest time. All the nice ‘Real Hungarian’ leaders having a pow-pow and promise each other eternal love.
    Jobbik also participated in the July 4 demonstration to protest against Budahazy’s arrest.
    Funny how that imported Australian alias-shifter cannot remember even that.
    2006 is finished, realize that.

  5. justasking says:

    There is a big difference between cooperating with someone/group of people and quite another to encouraging, support, agree to radical terroist acts.
    For example, Hungary taking in the Palestinian guy. Are you suggesting that this government wants to give this guy salvation and encourage more violance?
    Or, is this government COOPERATING with the US government to help “redirect” this persons attitude/actions so that one day he might “see the light”… code for looking at the world the way the West does.

    Well, on (http://www.jobbik.com/europe-news/3086.html) Jobbik’s official web-site:
    “About two or three hundred members and sympathizers of he Hungarian Guard Movement held a peaceful gathering in the afternoon of the 4th of July 2009, at the Elizabeth Square in Budapest, in order to protest against the 2 July court ruling that dissolved the Hungarian Guard Association, and for the release of political prisoners”

    Jobbik regard Budahazy and his ilk as “political prisoners” after they were arrested and charged with just “fire bombings terrorista acts”.
    Of course that is your right to think that, but then do not crawl under the nearest rock when judgement day has passed and scream out denials.
    You do not think that Budahazy will remember your sudden loss of support for him?
    ‘Back-stabbing’,
    ‘being a coward in front of the enemy’,
    I wonder what epithet Budahazy will put on you guys.
