Socialists outraged by Jobbik mayoral candidate’s call to banish Roma criminals

The opposition Socialist party has called on Hungary’s democratic political forces to distance themselves from a proposal by a radical nationalist Jobbik party politician to “banish Roma criminals” from the northeastern city of Miskolc.

Istvan Nyako, a spokesman for the Socialists, said on Wednesday that the party expected prime minister Viktor Orban to speak out in protection of Hungary’s Roma minority of about half a million people and reject extremism.

He said that in a society governed by rule of law, the place of recidivist criminals was in prison.

Nyako spoke in response to calls by Jobbik’s candidate for Miskolc mayor, Marton Szegedi, to banish repeat offenders of a Roma origin to a outside city limits, put them in a camp and strip them of their citizenship. Szegedi said he was citing examples from Slovakia, France, Italy and Finland for his proposal.

Nyako said that the remarks were reminiscent of the national socialist agenda for concentration camps 65 years ago.

    ”to banish repeat offenders of a Roma origin to a outside city limits, put them in a camp and strip them of their citizenship”
    How is this going to stop them from stealing,mugging,raping,pillaging etc.. because putting them outside the city wont make a major difference when they can walk right back in again.

    Not if they are branded and kept fenced

  3. Abácsi says:

    Is branding and fencing in only for Roma criminals? Surely you would include jews, gays, socialists and maybe any neighbours you dislike. What about girls who have disappointed you, people whose property or jobs you desire or or those who disagree with you.
    Come on Attila and Law……go the whole way, back to the dark ages!

    I do not think Hungarians are planning to do any of those things your country, nazi israel is doing.

    therefore many people in Jobbik party are nazi lovers, because that is more or less what they want.

    Now Law sys what the other jobos are only dreaming about – or will we see anyone writing against this ?

  7. Cináed says:

    well, seeing as the world is such a terrible place filled with awful, degenerate, atavistic sub-humans, perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to build a big wall around Hungary and just fence it off. It could be an island of peace and happiness, where everyone lives for the community and for the greater good of the people. The worker would be the highest ideal. There would be no classes or greed because everyone would be the same. After a time, even clothing would become uniform.
    …oh wait.

    I think the answer is getting liposuction in Indiana (as it LHVJ’s and Law’s brains)
    There is an ad on another thread for “liposuction in Indiana ” by a woman with an Anglo-Saxon name who needs to take courses in “English as a second language.”
    You may recall that Churchill, Ghandi, Truman and others have mentioned that a society is judged by the way it treats its most vulnerable. Let’s hope Hungarian society is not judged according to JOBBIK candidates.
    I was wondering how you are adjusting from being a Tsar to becoming a Snake with an Ego.

    Márton Szegedi Jobbik mayoral candidate for the city of Miskolc said parts of the city are unsafe for residents at any time of the day because of high level of gypsy crime. Home invasions, theft, violence, robbery and murder are everyday occurrences in many parts of the city. Most of the crimes have been committed against older people unable to defend themselves said Szegedi.
    In a news conference, he proposed a radical solution to the problem by asking authorities to allow the deportation of repeat offenders from the city. Citing French, Italian and Finnish examples he proposed setting up a project that would allow relocating repeat offenders in designated camps outside populated areas.
    Several European governments have already been working on creative ideas that might lead to solving the problem of gypsy crime for good. The French government, for instance called gypsy crime a national security issue. In Italy, the military and the Italian National Guard have been used several times against gypsy criminals in many Italian cities. In Finland several cities simply banning gypsy criminals from entering certain parts of the municipality. Hungary should draw on these experiences and develop a permanent solution to gypsy crime.
    Like the Socialists, Fidesz too misled the population by promising quick solutions to the public said Szegedi; but it is clear that police don’t have the resources to handle the issues relating to gypsy crime.

  11. Law says:

    He is asking parliament to consider introducing measures that would allow taking away the citizenship of repeat offenders as part of an overall solution to the problem of gypsy crime.

  12. Pete H. says:

    Law etc., are you willing to apply this “solution” to all repeat offenders or just Roma?

  13. olga says:

    @ Law
    Went to a funeral yesterday – my husband’s 89 year old Aunt died and the Minister mentioned what a good person she was, always helping those less fortunate than her.
    He was reading from the Bible and said something about loving your neighbour as you love yourself and that there was no other commandment greater than that – is this really in the Bible or was he making it up? – I am not sure if Presbyterians can be trusted.
    If the passage was genuine and since you are in regular contact with God – can you find out what happens when the neighbour belongs to a race, nationality or religion that does not appear on one’s “Love” list?
    I would also ask LHVJ but he is tied up with urgent matters on the Gaza strip so I don’t want to interrupt him.

    Cinaed is truly showing signs of losing it.
    @Olga
    It’s can be tricky making sense of religious
    teachings, and I hope to try and explain your
    question to ” love God, love thyself, love thy
    neighbor”, how do we know we are ” really loving ”
    the way God defines Love? And, if ” Love is the
    Key”, then surely we want to ” love” the right
    way!
    You see, for people trapped in the human
    consciousness their goal for every situation is to
    make themselves feel as good as possible. However,
    for the Christ consciousness the goal for every
    situation is to produce maximum spiritual growth
    for every person. This cannot be done through a
    soft and mushy love, but only through the Christ
    consciousness, which will not leave people alone
    in a limited state of mind.
    So to truly understand the commandment to love
    your neighbor as yourself, you need to understand
    the nature of Christ love. When you love yourself
    with the love of Christ, you are constantly
    striving to come up higher in consciousness. You
    simply will not accept yourself as standing still
    in the lower state of consciousness. Consequently,
    you will apply that same Christ love to your
    neighbor, and you will not allow your neighbor to
    remain stuck in a lower state of consciousness.
    cont.

  16. Law says:

    To truly love is to be committed to always
    producing maximum spiritual growth in any
    situation. To truly love yourself and your
    neighbor is to constantly strive to bring everyone
    closer to God, closer to a union with their
    source. This union can be achieved only through
    the Christ consciousness.
    Therefore, true love is that which seeks to bring
    everyone closer to the Christ consciousness, even
    if their human consciousness makes them feel like
    you are not living up to their definition of love.
    You will see that many people do not like to be
    disturbed, and they do not take kindly to
    receiving a portion of Christ love. Nevertheless,
    this is the true love of Christ to never leave
    anyone stuck in the human consciousness.

    To ‘banish people and strip them of their citizenship’ will not solve anything. If anything, it will make the lives of Gypsy’s who do work hard, who do live a life free of crime etc harder. This is promoting isolation of a group of people.
    It is also unfair to ignore people’s legitimate concerns about not feeling safe within their homes and community. This to me, also promotes people to feel isolated.
    What to do? I personally believe that a mandatory 1-2 year Army Service be introduced/reintroduced to every member citizen when they reach 18. Again my opinion, today’s youth lack discipline, appreciation and respect not only for their fellow man; but, for themselves as well.
    Instead of banishing repeat criminals like this article purposes…can they not be forced to pay their debt to society in a manner of Peace Keeping Missions or something along that line?
    Introduce a punishment that will scare the living shit out of a person.
    I would think twice about committing a crime if I knew that if I were to get caught…they would be shipping my ass to Africa or Afghanistan etc.
    Make it a blanket Law that would effect everybody equally.
    Whether something like I said can be doable I don’t know. It’s an idea though/possible solution to fixing this problem. Something that I haven’t seen anybody else come up with.

    @ Cinaed
    I am sorry but I cannot use you as a reference – I need to consult with Law – probably on the phone right now getting me answers.
    Unlike him, you do not have direct contact with God and you are a Serpent with an Ego. I am not even sure if you would qualify as anyone’s neighbour.
    Re: “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light” – Shit, you can’t trust anyone these days.
    From Tsar to Serpent – “How The Mighty Have Fallen” – my thoughts and prayers are with you
    BTW, about the funeral we went to – 80% of the time was spent on the Aunt’s life from the time she was born in a small Ontario farming community.
    About 6 months ago, we went to a Catholic funeral – 80% of the time was spent making me and the rest of the Congregation feel bad about our sins.I hardly had time to think about the deceased I felt so guilty for being such a rotten sinful person. Especially since the sins were not specified.
    Do you think it’s up to the each individual Priest or Minister to decide the Sermon or do the Churches give directions to the clergy about how much time to spend on topics like “sin” vs. the “deceased”?

  19. Cináed says:

    olga…to answer your question quickly. It’s both and neither. There isn’t usually a specific directive, but there is a general ‘tradition’ of what to talk about at such occasions. The more ‘fundamentalist’ churches (and I use the term in its actual literal sense not what it has come to mean) use the opportunity of death to try to make people think about where they’re going to spend eternity and set about quite literally ‘scaring the hell out of them.’ I do know that Catholics have taken guilt to an art form, but they’re not the only guilty ones…(I know, *groan*).
    -
    It really sucks when you have to explain a joke to someone who doesn’t get it…but I did have to laugh that straight after bi-Law’s comment about me losing it, he did EXACTLY what I was mocking.
    -
    By the way, did you know that Peter the Great was often referred to as ‘a black cat’? It was kind of a play on words, but the equivalent would be calling someone the devil or at a stretch ‘a serpent mind’. (again, lost in translation stuff) Actually, most snakes aren’t that bad once you get to know them.
    -
    So anyway, I still have my Tsar’s robes, but they’re just at the dry-cleaner’s, so I’m getting around in my snakeskin suit and dark glasses.

  20. olga says:

    @ Cinaed
    Well, at least when I feel the need to feel guilty, I’ll know where to go.
    The “allegedly religious” on this website are the most intolerant, mirroring American politics.
    If you follow the crazies of the GOP in the USA, they give a new meaning to the evil twins, “Religion and Hate” towards Black, Muslims, Hispanics and various other minorities. Did you know that Glenn Beck is channeling God this weekend at the Tea Party Rally?
    Shame you are so far away and can’t show up in your snakeskin suit with a basket of apples for the women.
    Did not know about the “black cat” and Peter the Great but of course snakes aren’t bad – you are my favourite snake

  21. The Mask says:

    Who and What is Real? Removing the Mask.
    I have witnessed many people who profess to be doing
    something of the light and they are not, and I have
    been taken, while inside my heart, to see the hidden
    motives and agendas of the dark forces. We want to
    believe what we see, and if something is beautiful
    we want to think that it truly is inside. But alas,
    such is not the case in the world of form. Sometimes
    the beauty is only skin deep, as they say. The dark
    ones and those who do dark things, have to hide
    themselves in the forms of beauty, or the children
    of the Light and the sons and daughters of God
    wouldn’t be duped!

  22. Bystander says:

    I just got it! I finally realized what’s wrong
    with Law… I had thought it was “borderline
    personality disorder” but now I’m virtually sure
    that it’s “multiple personality syndrome”!
    Thus Cinaed’s name of “bi-Law” has another meaning
    – note in example below Law version 1.0 clearly
    contrasted with Law 2.0:
    “To truly love yourself and your neighbor is to
    constantly strive to bring everyone closer to God,
    closer to a union with their source.”
    Law 1.0 at August 26, 2010 6:15 PM
    “…putting them outside the city wont make a
    major difference when they can walk right back in
    again.”

    “strip them of their citizenship”

    This part of the proposal shows that Jobbik need some legal advice.
    Stripping someone of citizenship only works if that person has another citizenship, like Romanian. After that you just throw him/her back to Romania
    How big % of the repeat criminals in Miskolc have more than just Hungarian citizenship?
    0%, 1%, ?%
    If you take away the only citizenship from a person, that person becomes State-less (or “Palestinian” when Israel strips Arabs of their Israel citizenship)
    No country can deport a State-less person, then a State-less person is very seldom accepted anywhere, so where can “Jobbik” send these ex-Hungarians?
    But there is some irony that “Jobbik” want to treat Roma as Israel treats its ‘bad’ Arabs
    Mr Lobotomy can surely dig up some nice examples on that

  24. M.T. says:

    Jobbik bashing, the same boring crap over and over again. Don’t you have anything better to do?
    Tell us something positive for a change, such as the benefits of supporting roma criminals. Are you one of them? Who’s the guy translating and writing for you?

  25. Freedom says:

    Who cares what the bankrupt Socialist bigots have to say? The only interest the Socialist serves is extremism and promotion of ultra-Roma hate against Hungarians, by spreading lies, hype, and twisting words the Socialist have shown that they’ll use dirty of dirtiest tricks to garner support from it’s mediocre hate-base.
    The Socialist who throughout it’s history (Communist) placed European people in gulags and mass prison has absolutely no room to spread it’s lies. Where does Marton Szegedi say he wants to banish Roma or place them into concentration camps? No, instead he says he wants to banish the criminal element of Roma society (which any good crime fighter would want to do).
    It must irritate Socialist disorder that there exist a party willing to banish criminality from the streets, so, that ordinary Hungarians (not just ethnic native Hungarians) can reclaim their streets and walk down them with out fear like our ancestors could.
    The Socialist dramatic hate against Jobbik is in-fact a deep seated hate against anything Hungarian, and is reminiscent to the scary days when anti-Magyar forces tried to cleanse Hungary of Hungarian life and Stalinize the country.

    Freedom at August 27, 2010 11:55 AM

    And why does *not* “Marton Szegedi” state the same thing about non-Roma criminals?
    Are criminals different if they are Roma or not?
    Is the victims suffering different if the criminal was Roma or not?
    Tell that to the relatives killed by ‘Tiszta Magyar’ school-shootings – Their grieve and loss does not count, because the killer was not Roma…

    Why do “Jobbik” and its supporters regard people differently depending on race/religion/ethnicity?

  28. olga says:

    @ Freedom and LHVJ
    Why don’t you two spell it out:
    What would you like to see happen to the Roma
    1. The ones who are unemployed on welfare but do not commit crimes
    2. The ones who do commit crimes.
    How would you like to see convicted Hungarian criminals treated ? Should they be treated differently or the same as convicted Roma criminals?
    Stripping them of Hungarian citizenship is not a legal option unless they were born outside Hungary
    The “other side” spelled out various solutions to the Roma problem, having to do with education and having strings attached to welfare payments like compulsory school attendance – so lets read your answers.
    Take a look at what Ontario is doing – it’s not for violent offenders but for those “chicken thieves” it might work.

    @ Freedom and LHVJ
    Don’t rush with your answers – btw the concept

    “Restorative Justice” – when LHVJ is not busy insulting my dead father or JA’s dead biological father, perhaps he would have a few minutes to grasp the idea of how this idea may or may not work with the Roma or Hungarians who commit non-violent crimes. (assuming they might be a couple Hungarians is the country committing crimes)
