Rumors have started to swirl around the private life of Jobbik Chairman Gábor Vona after someone claiming to have hacked his Hungarian social networking site IWIW profile posted images from the account as well as personal communications online. Now Magyar Hírlap, which for a while flirted with the far-right before coming back to support Fidesz, is reporting that Vona may have had an extramarital affair with Mariann Pogácsás (seen here with Vona at presumably some Magyar Gárda event), and possibly with others. Jobbik denied the allegations on their official media site barikad.hu, calling them forgeries and part of a campaign to discredit Vona by the "Socialist-Fidesz grand coalition." What remains to be seen, however, is if this story gets some legs or quickly dies down.
Published every Wednesday, the Politics Hungary newsletter contains all the previous week's headlines from Politics.hu, as well as related stories from other All Hungary sites.
Well not really of political importance, then all 'successful' men (women also?) tend to indulge in the nicer part of being 'successful', but to do a PestiSide comment:
a) Does it not look like Gábor is taking a firm grip on poor Mariann and she is desperately trying to remove his hand?
.
b) If you can shift your name, why not bed-partners also?
Typical slander, I remember Vona Gabor actually anticipating this kind of character assassination by the opposition, they have accused of being a Gypsy, Jew, Gay and now this, keep the slander coming it helps the Jobbik improve it's growth. Neo Liberals are that stupid that they don't realize how all there attacks have backfired because the allegations have been all lies, I’m looking forward to March 15th gathering of the future Leader of Hungary "Szebb jövőt!..

That is the Spirit!
We can just hear the trample of little feet in all those big para-boots
Calling Magyar Hírlap "Neo Liberal" is a bit funny, because before 'mark' shifted into 'big jim' he/she linked his/her alias to, just that - Magyar Hírlap
.
Maybe 'mark' was one of those "Neo Liberal ZioNazist Internet Commandos" 'mark' always warned us for? Maybe he was just trying to tell us that Magyar Hírlap belonged to the "Neo Liberal" plot to take over the world?
Well, now Law knows the 'Truth' and we others who grew up thinking Magyar Hírlap was all *but* "Neo Liberal" are of course totally confused
.
Is it not a bit Orwell 1984 over this?
One day Magyar Hírlap is 'The Truth', next day it is "Neo Liberal"

To be honest, i think what he is doing on his private time is no business for others, beside possibly for his wife (and possible girlfriends).
For most europeans politicians' private or sex life has no bearing on their political success (otherwise in italy, france, finland among others they would have quite a few politicians in parlament) and i sincerely hope that american/english obsession with this never finds place here.
@Law: for defamation cases there is a distinction between libel and slander. I'll let you work out the difference.

I totally agree with you on a conceptual level, *but* when leaders/prominent figures for political parties that claim to be morally superior and all this about 'Christian Values'-BS (and Adultery *is* a Christian Sin) things tend to become a bit more complicated/politically charged
.
If the 'Moral Superiors' are as hypocritical as the rest of us normal mortals, what do they have for them?
-
I think you missed out "and possible boyfriends" in your post, though, because how do we *know*?
I have no problem believing that Gábor and Mesterhazy are the 2 big contenders for the Gay-vote this election
If that reflects on any of their personal life, I have not a clue
@ile: But one of Jobbik's central claims is that a it is founded on a respects what it calls 'keresztény erkölcsre' (christian morality) and even claims that 'faith or moral education is imperative' ("A hit vagy erkölcstan kötelező oktatása"). Should I go on?
Let's wait and see whether and how much of a hypocrite he turns out to be.
Someone needs to educate these clowns about encryption. Have they never heard of the term political 'crypto-anarchists'? Shows you how empty the Jobbik technical brain-bin is.

Law at March 10, 2010 9:34 AM
Yep! And intent on character assassination, the neo-liberals are using ‘Gypsy, Jew, Gay’, etc. as pejoratives. Tch tch.
Szebb Jövőt!
I hope Jobbik takes the paper to the cleaners.
A while back at the Euro elections, an internet forum comment made in Krisztina Morvai's name, was considered "proof" of her anti-Semitism.
Now correspondence made from an IWIW account, Vona shut down a year ago, is considered "proof" of his adultery.
It is indeed time that these sorts of claims are tested in court. And didn't kuruc hack Zsolt Bayer's iwiw account just the other day, to show how easy it was?
Anyway, from a Hungarian perspective it should be remarked that by and large Magyars are inveterate bed-hoppers; and the press tend to pay little notice at all; for this patently false (1. When would he find the time?, and, 2. Surely he'd know exactly the kind of scrutiny he'd be under?) allegation to appear in the news: is really indicative of how nervous and desparate the establishment is getting.
@Bobs...: Do you at least acknowledge that should any allegations stand he and his parties claims as guardians of 'morality' are questionable?
Most likely the court case will focus more on the means by which the information was obtained than the actual information. Unlike the US - where once information has reached the public domain the means are not an issue - here most defamation cases use this as their sole basis to punish people who bring information into the public sphere.

I would caution you that I never suggested otherwise.
Yes... I fucked her. I admit it. And she was even better than Viking's mum.
Oh. Shit. They now have all the "proof" they need.
What was I thinking?
Just found this gem in the J-paper:
"The coexistence and cohesion of Magyar and Gypsy* is one of the severest problems facing Hungarian society."
So "Gypsies" are not "magyar" - if they have to have "cohesion" WTF does that mean ?
And another - you have to read this slowly to get the meaning :
"In order to return the institution of marriage to its rightfully unique status, we would commence the dissolution of the legal recognition of civil partnerships."
A nice backward step into the middle ages ...
@wolfidoesloverunningaway doesn'thereaders?
Please explain how dissolving civil parternships, and returning the exclusive rights possessed by the institution of marriage, and ONLY marriage, cinstitute a "step into the middle ages"?
It is fascinating how any desire to reverse the extremist liberalism of the last few years, can be categorized as catapulting humanity 16 centuries. It is equally fascinating to hear these people explain who they think falles for this crap... Any chance of you telling us wolfi?
What does the asterisk in that word "Gypsy*" indicate wolfi?
Where are there two different wikipedia entires for "Roma" and what this wikipedia article says, wolfi?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magyar
Half of the under-8s in Hungary are now Roma, wolfi. Their parents are majority unemployed, wolfi. So they live on benefits, wolfi. The Magyar is therefore, through his taxes, paying through the nose to exterminate himself, wolfi. This situation was described as a "time-bomb" wolfi. Not by a Nazi, wolfi. But by János Ladányi, the head of the Budapest Center of Social, Regional and Ethnic Conflicts, wolfi. Again, wolfi, wtf do you know about Hungary and Hungarians, wolfi?
Because your utter ignorance is just so f*cked-up as to be positively weird!

1) This is of course the error of the Roma?
.
2) Care to share the source of this stats?
Especially given the fact that less than 200.000 people declared them as being Roma in the latest census 2001 (will be a new one 2011)
.
3) Do you really mean that not a single Roma has work and pay taxes?
Only the Magyar do that?
@Viking
That's right Viking, when in doubt, question the reality. Don't address it.
All the other parties have done the same, they question the reality everyone sees. And look where it has got them? Hmmm...
Only Jobbik addresses it.
Which is why the party continues to grow. Slanders, libels, a press embargo, conspiracies to associate it with terrorism, and yet it KEEPS growing, doesn't it? Why?
Because Hungarians are all secretly Nazis, and it just takes a good economic depression for us to start Sieg Heiling? Or?... Because Jobbik addresses the realities every Hungarian sees every day, while you, and the parliamentary parties, think yourselves so clever, just questioning that that reality exists at all (and calling anyone who dares say it does exist is a Fascist also).
And guess what, the more you argue how you do, the more it will continue to grow. Becuase this is WHY it grows. And boy oh boy, that just pisses you off so much doesn't it?
But until you realise this simple truism, you, and all the rest like you here, will continue to be, as you are, a blind men searcing for a matchstick in an aircraft hangar.
Well I'd *hope* he was getting lots of pussy. Otherwise, what's the point of running a party that'll never be in power? Certainly no money there...

No. Interestingly enough I use different words when I mean different things. Maybe you should look up what that word truism means.
@Erik
I didn't know you were one of the wishful thinking = evidence crowd. Or perhaps you are using the same sources to justify your opinion as the ones which predicted Jobbik would barely score 5% at the European elections?
Well done, Bobs! Defending yourself admirably and, at the same time, making the hyenas howl in agony at the prospect of facing the truth for once in their gay, liberal lives.
PS.Erik Pussy? No. Just macska. Thousands of 'em. They breed like rabbits. And they f--k like
whores.
Viking,
i fully understand your point. Now, i don't (did not) know what is Jobbik message in terms of moral values, so i might have been just innocently naive asssuming that in general it is like most european parties, not mixing specific christian moral aspects in political life, this makes especially american politics to me personally disgusting and double standards. The problem there is that people who usually mostly preach christian values are actually least following them, and mostly forgetting even the basic aspects of the values of christian faith. So maybe my point was not correct here. For normal politicians i still see no relevance what they do in their bedrooms and with whom.
Bobs wrote: "the more you argue… the more it will continue to grow" I bet Vona's actually grateful for these hatchet jobs for all the sympathy they generate for him. I mean how credible are the main stream media anyway? Whose opinions do the 'form?' Popularity though doesn't mean that the powers that be will give up their power so Erik may unfortunately be right… :-((
Aren't the Roma Hungarian? Hungarians are after all a mix of many nationalities. It is a complete myth that there is some sacred Hungarian bloodline that can be traced back 1000 years. The science of population genetics just simply does not support that assertion.
How long do Jews and Roma need to be part of Hungarian culture before before the boneheaded Jobbick supporters will accept them as fellow countrymen?
Roma have been in Hungary for some 500 years. Provide them with equal educational opportunities and stop discriminating against them in work and then you won't have to worry about supporting them via welfare.
Worried about their birthrates - give them economic opportunity - birth rates always fall when a people are relatively well of.
In the US we have slowly improved the status of blacks. We still have a long way to go, but education was the key. Some of my best students are blacks and as far as potential I see no difference. Given the many successful and highly educated Roma in Hungary it is clear that they have the same potential too.
Treat a people as inferior, stick them in lousy schools, and discriminate against them in the workplace and they're young will be left without hope and will likely turn toward crime.
@Pete H
Not sure how long you have been around this website
Being a 6 month recent graduate, I just wanted to let you know the rules.
Everything you said is true. Research also supports your comment regarding declining birthrates.
Therefore you have just joined an exclusive male club located in Hungary known as the "Village Idiots" I think I may or may not be part of it, but it would be an honour if I were allowed to join.
PH, you can lead horse to water but you can't make them drink. Majority have not made the effort to want to learn or work, they use social services to their benefit Serbs, Croats, Germans and Romainian all were united Hungarian very multi culti and they also united people with blood treaty, so why would they do this unless the Hungarians believed in oneness with its neighbors which Jesus demonstrates this at the last supper.
The Huns, Scythians and Magyars all had the custom of swearing an oath with blood, (blood brotherhood). By drinking a mixture of wine and their own blood, into which their weapons had been dipped, they swore allegiance for life. Two warriors drank from a single drinking horn. Rolf Rolle says: "This simultaneous drinking was obviously important; it sealed the bond to the death and perhaps even beyond into the next world."

Are you on smack?
Your conduct on this website is a prime example of what Jesus did not stand for. Then you have the gall to take HIS name in vein?
I don't consider myself a religious person, but religious enough to find your using Jesus name reprehensible.
Jesus was about Love and you are about Hate.
These are the kind of ridiculous lies that one has to deal with when one dares to tackle such a corrupt, dishonest system. An accusation of "Marital Infidelity" is the oldest trick in the book. I'm sure Mr Vona expected he would have to endure this kind of slander when he took his position in Jobbik.
@hazafi
The slime attack was expected but it was still some surprise that it came for Magyar Hirlap. ATV is the proper channel for such sliming. It took another 5% off Fidesz support and added to Jobbik support.
@Olga: "Jesus was about Love" He was also about ANGER http://bit.ly/asAp7T
@Pete H: "Aren't the Roma Hungarian?" It depends. The Romungro http://bit.ly/azGuUV are Indian-Hungarian, the Gábor Gypsies http://bit.ly/9hSMwr are Arab-Hungarian, the Jenische, German travelers… 'Roma' is a misnomer in more ways than one. "Hungarians are after all a mix of many nationalities" Not A mix: MIXES which is not the same. Most Magyars are also genetically different from the rest of Europe which is basically either Latin or German. "It is a complete myth that there is some sacred Hungarian bloodline that can be traced back 1000 years" It is no myth, the Crouys can trace their bloodline back to Arpad and the Apponyis can trace theirs all the way back to our Second Nations (the Seven Tribes) "How long do Jews and Roma need to be part of Hungarian culture before before the boneheaded Jobbick supporters will accept them as fellow countrymen?" Did anyone say they are not part of Hungarian culture? Or do you mean that we should love them? How many years in prison do you think we should get for not loving Gypsies? The next big thing I bet now that prison time for Shoa business 'denial' is in the bag.... "Provide them with equal educational opportunities and stop discriminating against them in work and then you won't have to worry about supporting them via welfare" Shouldn't there be some effort on their part too?
@Pete H, more: &, Do you feel the same way about Palestinians? "give them economic opportunity" Aren't there, quite frankly, segments of our population that are a lot worse off than the Gyps? Or have you seen any homeless Gypsies lately? The homeless and the most destitute in Hungary are not Gypsies and yet none of the horrible crimes you hear about almost daily are committed by poor Magyars. How do you explain that? And why don't we have similar problems with Slovak, Greek, Bulgarian or Armenian Hungarians? "In the US we have slowly improved the status of blacks" Stop lying. Your prison population is majority black. Black ghettos everywhere are living hells. Your coloreds in fact had a higher standard of living when they were slaves. "Treat a people as inferior, stick them in lousy schools, and discriminate against them in the workplace and they're young will be left without hope and will likely turn toward crime" You have just described the majority Magyar population's treatment by the occupiers and the master race. No wonder Jobbik's (that's right douchebag, there is no c, see?) so popular.

wonder what it means - the way the jobos argue on this site ?
Lopott agy,
I do not support Israel actions regarding Palestinians.
When someone deflects it is a sign that they either have no argument or are incapable or making a rational argument.
This website is about Hungary - not Blacks in the US or Palestinians.
If you are too weak-minded to keep focused on the subject at hand, then perhaps you can save your keystrokes for something else. I think the forums at Kuruc would welcome your repetitive rants.
I hope someone returns your missing part.
