Far-right activist Budaházy acquitted of crimes against state

By

Far-right activist György Budaházy was acquitted of crime against the state by Hungary’s highest court, which on Tuesday overturned a lower court decision convicting him for “preparing to overthrow constitutional order by force.”

Budaházy was charged with the crime for his writings published online between September 2006 and March 2007, in which he urged people to oust the government, dissolve Parliament and “defeat” police.

He was sentenced to one year in prison suspended for three years by the Budapest Court of Appeals in October 2010, which the highest court has now annulled. [hvg.nu]

    Because Fidesz have now completely politicised the judiciary we don’t know if this was a decision based on law, or some pay off to Jobbik.

      @Cnut,

      ‘Because Fidesz have now completely politicised the judiciary we don’t know if this was a decision based on law, or some pay off to Jobbik’

      Are you serious?

      So, what your saying is, that the Hungarian Judiciary System is completely corrupt…Fidesz simply replaced ‘their guys, with his guys’…and if he had not done that, Budaházy would have been convicted, not because of evidence; but, because the judge is a supporter of the left?

      I have to say, I was wondering who was going to comment on this thread first, and put this kind of ridiculous, ‘paranoid schizophrenia’ type spin on it.

      Posters like Paul yes…I did not think it would be you.

      • Cnut

        No, what I was saying is what I have said :-)

        Because it is a stacked judiciary, we don’t know.

        Maybe it was for valid legal reasons.

        Or maybe it wasn’t.

        But because the judicial system is tainted, people’s trust in it is lessened. Which is a bad outcome overall.

        You may think it is OK for the whole judicial system to be compromised. I don’t.

        Maybe we can argue over how much Fidesz has compromised it (for example, I don’t think the whole system s going down the drain), but surely you would agree, that if they have completely stacked it, then it is bad.

          @Cnut,

          Yesterday, I was listening to a speaker on you-tube. He was talking about ‘lies’, with a lower case ‘l’ VS, ‘lies’ with a upper case ‘L’.

          The lower case ‘l’, is used, when one wants to plant the seed of doubt. When a person lies in the upper case ‘L’, this is when you WANT people to believe; making the delivery so big, the attitude becomes…’if it weren’t true, why would they say such a thing’? moving away from casting doubt, to completely eliminating all traces of it.

          Stay with me here, I’m bringing it all together…

          When you said:

          ‘Because it is a stacked judiciary, we don’t know…
          ‘Maybe it was for valid legal reasons… Or maybe it wasn’t’

          This would be considered lower case ‘l’, because your intention was to cast a doubt.
          ———–

          This on the other hand is a upper case ‘L’:

          ‘But because the judicial system is tainted’

          You are so certain in your delivery, it must be true.

          So, what evidence do you have, that this in-fact is the case?
          ——-

          ‘You may think it is OK for the whole judicial system to be compromised. I don’t’

          Lower case ‘l’, your intention to have readers question my motive by casting doubt.
          ——-

          ‘Maybe we can argue over how much Fidesz has compromised it’

          I would love too; but I don’t think you’re able to look at anything this Government does objectively.
          ——

          ‘but surely you would agree, that if they have completely stacked it, then it is bad’

          I don’t know, you tell me? Would it be bad if only the right did it and not the left? What?

          • Cnut

            Well because of the perception of judicial bias and interference (try googling Tünde Handó, in English or Hungarian) Hungarians trust their own public justuice system much less.

            Personally, I suspect, this may have been some pay off to Jobbik, or at least done for political reasons, but I have no proof or evdence either way.

  • …justasking

    @the Stalinist bigot,

    When are you going to realize, that you are not a challenge; but simply challenged?

    ———-

    ‘By the way…you hypocrite…missed your comments about gays lately’

    I told you before, and I’ll tell you again…if the topic does not interest me, why comment on it.

    I understand, you feel the to be constantly ‘heard’, fine; does not me the rest of us have those same insecurities as you.

      ‘Who is voting a christian democratic party’

      So you say….

      • Paul

        Just stupid.

    @ just glad you recognize your name being just silly.

    • …justasking

      Hey, I’m just glad you recognize your name being both ‘the Stalinist bigot’ and ‘Tiny Tim’

      Seriously? You continuously set yourself up…

  • Paul

    Let’s stop it….hypocrite, silly coward, telling fairy tales about you supporting gays in one thread…and being absent when it comes down to it.

      ‘ telling fairy tales about you supporting gays in one thread…and being absent when it comes down to it’

      What do you want me to do? Go adopt a gay kid?

      I support this community, by insisting that my stylist and colourist be a gay man.

      Can you claim the same?

      • Leto. مؤدّب

        “I support this community, by insisting that my stylist and colourist be a gay man. ”

        ROTFLMAO :D :D

    @ just stupid of course

    “I support this community, by insisting that my stylist and colourist be a gay man. …..Which is patronising like hell…

      @ Just babbling

      “I support this community, by insisting that my stylist and colourist be a gay man.” And soooo funnieee

      • Leto. مؤدّب

        Indeed. It’s a lot funnier than calling Mark Rutte a lesbian. :D

      • …justasking

        @Tiny Tim,

        ‘And soooo funnieee’

        It wasn’t meant to be funny, it’s true.

    • …justasking

      @The Stalinist bigot,

      ‘Which is patronising like hell’

      Which goes to show, we can add ‘women’ to the list of ‘shit you don’t know’.

      • Leto. مؤدّب

        My guess it’s their strong feminine side and the removed (sexual) threat/challenge what makes them suitable for a job which requires touching you. Do I know “shit about women”, too? :)

        • …justasking

          @Leto,

          ‘Do I know “shit about women”, too?’

          Yup!

          • Leto. مؤدّب

            Sorry to hear. :)
            It seems you don’t want to reveal the reason. :(

          • …justasking

            @Leto,

            ‘It seems you don’t want to reveal the reason’

            Has nothing to do with that….they just seem to have the ability to ‘understand’ women, and at the same time, look at women from a males perspective. Look at the over whelming amount clothes designers, world renowned hair stylist…all gay men.

            I personally think, they have the best of both worlds…they full understand both men and women.
            ——-

            ‘and the removed (sexual) threat/challenge what makes them suitable for a job which requires touching you’

            Yeah…if they were giving the client a Brazilian and not cutting the hair on their head, I still wouldn’t understand your point.

          • Leto. مؤدّب

            Well, that’s more or less what I was driving at with “their strong feminine side”…

            As far as the second issue is concerned, I think some women feel being touched in the head and neck area even in a such a situation like a hair-cut is a breach of their privacy. Okay, so you’re not like that.

    He should sue. The guy sat in prison while never going to court under the Socialist and part of Fidesz rule. This was a travesty of Justice whether you agree or not, but based on the lack of evidence and fraudulent arrest of this man we can clearly see how the system in Hungary has worked to dissuade Hungarian nationalist.
