Justice and Law Enforcement Minister Tibor Draskovics on Tuesday tendered his resignation and will leave his post before the end of the year, the Justice Ministry told MTI on Wednesday.
Draskovics has decided to resign because “most of the legislative and other tasks have been successfully completed and the next period will be dominated by party politics rather than technical issues,” the ministry’s statement said.
Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai has accepted the minister’s resignation.
“Gordon Bajnai accepts [the minister's resignation] with regret,” the prime minister’s spokesman said in a statement.
“I thank Tibor Draskovics for all the work he did to strengthen the country’s public safety …” the statement said.
Draskovics, a former finance minister under the Socialist government of Peter Medgessy, was appointed to head the Justice Ministry in February this year by then prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsany, and Bajnai kept him on when he set up the crisis-management government in April.
Seen as an able technocrat who has made improvements to the workings of Hungary’s justice administration, Draskovics nevertheless drew strong criticism over his handling of several law and order issues affecting the Roma minority and the far right.
In the summer, Draskovics was forced to apologise for publishing inaccurate information when it released video footage giving a false impression of far-right activities. The opposition demanded his resignation at the time, but he was strongly backed by the ruling Socialist party and held on to his post.
“Justice and Law Enforcement Minister Tibor Draskovics on Tuesday tendered his resignation and will leave his post…”
What a stroke of luck! Are things changing for the better in this blessed country, once again?
THANK YOU GOD! Finally!

Hungarian Commie Jew Police Brutality!!

So all Police Officers are Jews and Communists?
And that will suddenly change in April when Fidesz comes to power?
Except a few high Officers, very few will be replaced and they will most likely continue harassing all Jobbik’s attempt to create a ‘Uniform Wing’.
Just remember Viktor Orban’s word about “in Fidesz’ Hungary, there is no need for organisations like Magyar Garda’.
What do you think he meant by that?
-
How many of those Police Officers (Jobbik claimed about 5.000) that joined the Jobbik-sponsored Police Union that later was declared illegal, did participate in these riots?
Basically a few village Police Officers who they could not fit in to the riot gear stayed at home, otherwise everyone were at the party 2006.
So the Jobbik-sponsored Police Union just consisted of worthless elderly fat village Police Officers?
The ones that are corrupt are inluenced by the Commie Jew brigade, and don’t try and smear the whole organization you fucking Dumb ass Liberal wanker!

So, the Hungarian Police is *not* corrupt as an organisational entity, OK.
Just some (= “The ones that are corrupt”) seems to pint to fewer than many.
So how big is the “Commie Jew brigade” inside the Police and how do you recognise them?
-
And why are the previous members (still 5.000?) in the Jobbik-sponsored Police Union better than the rest, when they participated in the riots in 2006?
-
Finally, will Viktor Orban clean out this “Commie Jew brigade” from the Police, or will he just keep them?
@Law: “Commie Jew Police Brutality!! “ is right… Did you know that REBISZ pigs are trained in Israel at the ‘International Security Academy’ http://www.securityacademy.org.il ? Did you know that some that put down the 2006 uprising were outright Shin Bet (ISA) agents in REBISZ uniform? There were dozens of witnesses that heard them talk to each other in the stilted Esperanto that the Ashkenazim insist on calling ‘Hebrew.’
This is an informative site, which have all the hottest news and updates.

Pávaszem, the Ashkenazim’s ‘Hebrew’ is less a stilted Esparanto than a trans-verbalised Yiddish. (But then, I suppose that might as well be called a stilted Esparanto…).
It’s interesting that ronay225 returned to this thread. I do not know the poster. But I wonder if it is your remark ‘Did you know that some that put down the 2006 uprising were outright Shin Bet (ISA) agents in REBISZ uniform’ that prompted the return? I am hearing the ‘Israelis in Hungarian police uniform’ event referenced quite often lately. I hope the Tetrekész, banned or not, are keeping an eye on new arrivals in Hungary who hide in synagogues.
Both you and FL have made remarks elsewhere to the effect that the establishment will not let go of its power for reason alone that their party is no longer in government. My take on this is that they will be made to let go, so long as armed police are not available to protect them.

This is so sweet
The ‘whisper’ game in full function
How do you ‘prove’ that the ‘Israelis in Hungarian police uniform’ exists?
You do not need it, you just repeat that sentence and then it will be part of the Glorious Truth, similar to the other ‘whisper game’ about:
“new arrivals in Hungary who hide in synagogues”
-
The sad part is that the people who actually believe in these unfounded rumours are calling themselves ‘Hungarian Intellectuals’, not to be mixed with Intelligence though
You, off course, know what is and what is not ‘unfounded’ rumour. How could you not, you being the ‘intellectual giant’ that puts all tenth-rate comedians to shame. Keep it up!

No, everyone knows what is an unfounded rumour:
* A statement that cannot be validated with any evident proof
-
So, if there are sooo many reports of Israelis running around in Hungarian Police Uniforms and/or hiding in the Synagogues, why not;
* take a picture,
* record them speaking,
* make a video (combine sound and pictures),
* grab one and show him off
-
To make a *very anti-Hungarian* statement:
* How many Magyars does it take to catch one under-cover Israeli?
-
Actually the real anti-Hungarian action made by yourself claiming Hungarians are so stupid that they would not be able to catch any of these Israelis, running around and speaking Hebrew and all
I mean, how hard can it be?
Or the Israelis are too smart for you guys?
Just remember your 2nd best friend ‘big jim’s repeated remark that it took 27 Israelis to kill one Palestinian, so how does that maths work out in this case?
Dear Elle,
Members of an “establishment” often have to be taken into account, even when they or their party are out of power. Once out of power, they can bide their time till another election and return to influence. They are “establishment” for a number of reasons:
1)They either have money or are backed by friends who have money.
2)Because of no. 1 above, they have an interest to protect or promote.
3)They may also have a personal articulateness or charisma that works well on TV and appeals to voters.
4)Because of numbers 1 and 2 above, they can “influence” (however you want to interpret that word) their party, individual politicians and the media.
5)They may be members of the media, in which case they can help shape public opinion.
6)They are never alone; they are generally not lone nuts or cranks. Show me one member of an “establishment” (in any country!), and you will notice that he has friends and associates who believe as he does and who are ready to step in and carry on in his place.
Democracy is a messy business, requiring “deals” and compromises with all sorts of players, many of whom you might be in disagreement with. Somebody may be “out” today, but could be back “in” tomorrow, and vice versa.
Laci, I want to get back to you here. But I have urgent work, so I shall have to leave it till this evening. Please excuse.

Esparanto than a trans-verbalised Yiddish”

1. where do you get this crap
2. too dumb to make it up
3. why are you people obsesed with jews? do you
have a crush on them?
@ Farkas László
I have no quarrel with any of the ways in which you gloss the nature of the establishment, Laci. But I want to put it to you that where the present establishment is only some 60 years old, the possibility of an establishment-in-waiting cannot be discounted. As it is, the news media, thanks to the internet, is no longer in the full control of the present establishment in Hungary. No charismatic figure is on hand to put its case, either. Against it, there is a political movement that is growing apace because it has, among other things, harnessed the public anger that sees this establishment as a thieving lot of scoundrels who are not a Hungarian establishment, but a hostile body with extra-national loyalties. The only thing, and it is a substantial one, that the establishment has going for it is its wealthy extra-national friends. That certainly stands it in good stead. But once it no longer wields political power, will those friends not desert it?
Establishments do change, Laci, and not only because a war displaces them, like the last one did our aristocracy. One has only to look at the present British establishment and the US one to see quite clearly that the English aristocracy is no longer the establishment of the former, nor are the WASPS the establishment of the latter. The new establishments there are also only some 60 + years old. No open challenger of them has arisen in either place, but there are rumblings. Our challenger is out and gathering strength. So, establishments: here today, gone tomorrow!
Hi Elle,
Of course the membership changes with time. Those that are reinforced with a lot of money and who represent powerful financial interests are the most enduring.
The 60 year old establishment that you mention reveals another characteristic of any enduring establishmentarians, and that is adaptability. These people went from old school communism to free trade internationalists and holders of private wealth. (Boy had Rákosi been able to see into the future!) Lord only knows what other adaptations they will adopt in the future.
If there should be a new governing coalition in the future, they will have to hold onto power and deal with challenges from the old gaurd and other contenders.
Laci, you do not mean to say, do you, that the old school communists were not also ‘internationalists and holders of private wealth’?
Hi Elle,
They were once ruled by a rigid Marxist Leninist ideology. After 1989, they converted to a different economic order that gave them more choices for personal profit. They were once “Internationalists”, but in the old Leninist sense of revolutionary solidarity. After 1989, they converted to a whole different kind of internationalism, one favored by economic elites in the developed world. Before, 1989, they were managers of state assets; after 1989, many got the chance to own those very assets. Big change.
Many of these people will not go away easily, that is my warning to you.
@ Farkas László
Laci, I stand warned! But I also add this: the adapted internationalists will not all stand their ground. Quite a few will scarper, like they did from Russia. And I do not take seriously your proposition that the bolshie internationalists and their current variety are even slightly different, except in their patois. That is why they found ‘adaptation’ so easy.
Against it, there is a political movement that is growing apace because it has, among other things, harnessed the public anger that sees this establishment as a thieving lot of scoundrels who are not a Hungarian establishment, but a hostile body with extra-national loyalties.

Ohh, see the Orwelian NewSpeak in action
Hardlz have the ink got dry from President Solymon’s signing of the ‘Holocaust-Denial’ Bill, until ‘elle’ replaces ‘jews’ with “extra-national”
Talk about adaptability
But as we know with the ‘changes’ of the Establishment, it is just window-dressing
-
The sentence:
“the public anger that sees this establishment as a thieving lot of scoundrels who are not a Hungarian establishment, but a hostile body with extra-national loyalties”
is funny, then it means that the Hungarian people have no problem with an establishment which is “a thieving lot of scoundrels”, as long as they are *Hungarian scoundrels*
No wonder that ‘non-jew’ Jobbik wants to get into the action and become part of the New Establishment
They are expecting a free ride after they done ‘The Put In Trick’ with the “extra-national”s (blink, blink, wink, wink)

Did I mention ‘elle’ has a ‘bloodline’ from the old ‘Hungarian’ Aristocracy (or was it Aristocat?), so she thinks of course she will be invited to step on to the Red Carpet later
