Corrupt politicians accused of participating in massive acts of real-estate fraud and stealing public money now attack the people’s heritage and customs.
Today national dress effectively became illegal in Hungary. And as yet another liberty was denied of the Hungarian people in their own land, and a further step was made in the deliberate eradication of their heritage, there was nothing. No fanfare, no global outrage, no international media condemnation. Just the sight of an elected representative being marched off by the enforcers of the state.
Inspite of the incredulity he faced from the MSZP and SZDSZ councillorssat around him, and in resolute opposition to the imperious commandsissued to him by the Socialist Mayor. Jobbik councillor Zsolt Gyenge,calmly and politely took his appointed seat in the council chamber ofBudapest’s VIth District.
On the day when, by Ministerial decree, the wearing of the uniform of the New Hungarian Guard – or any clothing resembling it –became an illegal offence, the democratically elected Jobbik people’srepresentative heeded Csanád Szegedi MEP’s recent call, and even thoughnot a Guard member, expressed solidarity with the Guard over the recentstate-motivated and press-sanctioned attacks it has been thepremeditated victim of.
He wore a New Hungarian Guard waistcoat, over the plain white shirt,black trousers and shoes worn by his Father, and his Father before him;and countless other plain, decent and honest Hungarians since timeimmemorial.
When asked later to explain why he had taken sucha stand, the Jobbik city councillor replied, “I consider it outrageousthat a treasonous government thinks it fit to punish those who wish tosee order in this country, who defend the people from gypsy criminalityand from flooding, who collect donations for the needy and for ourHungarian siblings beyond our borders.”
