Karl Pfeifer's article(1) gives more details about the scandal that has recently happened in the Hungarian Parliament, namely that the illegal(2) neo-Nazi party Jobbik MP, Zsolt Baráth, delivered an explicit Nazi speech there. The article also reveals some of the background of the Tiszaeszlár case related to the girl Eszter Solymosi(3). Furthermore, Karl Pfeifer gives some references and weblinks having documentary values.
Should our readers - especially those not living in Hungary - wish to understand what is going on in today's Hungary they should definitely read the whole article.
A lead-in of the article follows:
"There is no other European country with the possible exemption of Lithuania where anti-Semitism has become such a part and parcel of mainstream politics and media.
...
A recent public opinion survey by the ADL confirms that the level of anti-Semitism in Hungary is one of the highest in the European Union. For example 73 per cent believe that Jews have too much power in the business world.
...
To help the Hungarian people defeat anti-Semitism and racism(a) , United Europe should investigate the racism and anti-Semitism that infects such broad areas of politics in Hungary."

(a) We wonder what will happen should Hungarian people (but a few) not want to defeat it?
