JOBBIK HATERS WIN HUNGARY OVER ANTISEMETIC NUTCASES

Or Eshol Wins Int'l Bible Quiz, Netanyahu's Son Wins 3rd Place
by Hana Levi Julian AP 20,10


The winner of the annual International Bible Quiz this year kept her family's tradition by following in her father's footsteps 27 years later. Or Eshol of Kfar Saba, 17, defeated 15 competitors to take first prize in the contest -- an achievement first accomplished by her father Shimon when he was a teen.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was also a proud father after judges announced that his son Avner had won third place. I was very excited together with my wife, for our son. It's only natural,said the prime minister, who added that he was deeply impressed with the two top winners.

First runner-up was Elad Nachshon.

Avner Netanyahu had attracted much media attention due to his family ties, reaching the finals and correctly answering the first two questions to face the Prime Minister's Question.As a result of his background, he was given a question written by the main query writer, Neria Pinchas instead, and was provided only a partial answer, which stopped him from going further.The prime minister and Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar also announced that adults will once again also have the opportunity to compete as well, when the Adult Bible Competition is renewed. The contest was abandoned 30 years ago. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

Europe scales down response to ash cloud-Stranded passengers at Frankfurt airport (Photo: Travel Aficionado)VALENTINA POP 19.04.2010 @ 22:29 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – Parts of Europe will be re-opened for flights on Tuesday as ministers agreed to narrow down the no-fly zones around the Icelandic ash cloud, amid mounting pressure from airlines and experts saying the complete closure was exaggerated. After a four-hour long conference call on Monday (19 April), the 27 transport ministers agreed to carve out three safety zones and ban planes from flying only through the cloud itself and with specific restrictions in a buffer-zone around the ash plume. The pollution-free zones will meanwhile be opened without any restrictions. The exact carve-out is to be drawn up by Tuesday morning in the Brussels-based headquarter of Eurocontrol, the agency pooling and co-ordinating data from 38 national air traffic controllers.The Scandinavian countries, eastern and southern Europe are likely to resume all flights, while Britain, Ireland and the Benelux will probably continue to impose some restrictions, Bo Redeborn from Eurocontrol said at a press briefing.Currently, 18 states have partial or total fly bans. But Mr Redeborn said this reaction was exaggerated, although understandably, due to the unprecedented scale of the ash cloud formed after a volcanic eruption in Iceland last Wednesday.The risk entailed by volcanic ash is that it can melt into glass and damage the jet's engine. A Nato fighter jet flying through the cloud reported such problems, although it managed to land safely.

However, several airliners, such as Lufthansa and Air France-KLM, ran some 40 test flights in cloud-adjacent areas and experienced no problems, voicing their anger against the fly ban which saw them lose hundreds of millions of euros a day.The umbrella association of all air companies, IATA, accused the EU of dragging its feet in taking a decision. The decision that Europe has made is with no risk assessment, no consultation, no co-ordination, no leadership,IATA president Giovanni Bisignani said in Paris.In fact, only a third of the airspace blocked so far is estimated to be risky for planes to fly, Mr Redeborn admitted. The reason for the exaggerated response was linked to the high number of people involved in the decision-making process. The teleconference of stakeholders on Monday comprised some 200 persons.
When all these people get exposed to a situation where there is no previous experience, the safety culture induced environment means that everybody jumps in the direction of safety. Once you learn more about the nature of the ash, what jet engines can cope with, things change little by little.For the first passenger-free test flight, for instance, it took Eurocontrol six hours to get the green light from national authorities, due to a reluctance to take responsibility. But once it proved to be safe, others were easier to get up in the air.In the US - unlike in Europe - airlines are allowed to decide themselves if they want to fly and how to circumvent the ash cloud. National authorities only give them information about the location of the cloud.There were suggestions we move in that direction,Mr Redeborn said, but admitted it was still a distant prospect, as national authorities in Europe still have a say in all matters related to their airspace.

EU bends rules

Meanwhile, the European Commission has signalled willingness to bend competition rules for state aid given to troubled airlines facing an avalanche of costs with stranded and re-routed passengers. In the UK, British Airlines has already filed for state aid.It also advised member states to show leniency to non-EU passengers who now need to travel by land or by sea but have no visas.Nearly seven million passengers are stranded at 313 airports around the world due to the European flight ban.

What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.


European parliament holds pared down session
HONOR MAHONY 19.04.2010 @ 20:41 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - There will be no voting during the European Parliament's plenary session in Strasbourg this week, with most MEPs not making it to the Alsatian capital as travel chaos caused by the Icelandic volcanic ash continues in Europe.The trimmed session, finishing a day early and featuring an emergency debate on Tuesday (20 April) on the chaotic transport situation, was announced by parliament president Jerzy Buzek at the formal opening of the plenary session.The European Parliament plenary session is going ahead in Strasbourg. We have decided that due to travel restrictions there will be no votes. MEPs are fully aware of the dramatic consequences of the ash cloud, Mr Buzek told the chamber. Of the 736 MEPs, around 200 were present to hear the announcement.The parliament's strict rules of procedure meant the formal decision or whether to go ahead with the parliamentary sitting at all had to be taken in Strasbourg and not before. This caused a slightly mutinous feeling among the MEPs that did make it to Strasbourg. Some questioned the point of going ahead with a vote-free session while others noted that if it had been clear earlier that parliament was to convene, more MEPs might have made it.The voting was postponed due to fears both that the legal quorum would not be reached (at least a third of MEPs must be present) and the results would be geographically skewed in favour of MEPs living in mainland Europe and relatively close to Strasbourg.One MEP, reacting to Mr Buzek's praise for the deputies that managed to be in the chamber, said It is our job, it is really nothing special. He went on to chastise Mr Buzek and the parliament's authorities for not giving out information in a speedy fashion.

It would be very helpful for us if we get information about plenary sittings ... earlier than we did it this time because I got the first information on Sunday and it was a bit tricky for me to come here, said Austrian Socialist MEP Joerg Leichtfreid.MEPs were told on Saturday that a decision would only be made on Monday and would have to be taken in Strasbourg.Meanwhile, British MEPs complained that postponing the voting for two weeks would coincide with preparations for the UK elections on 6 May making it unlikely that any British MEPs would be present. Conservative MEP Charles Tannock asked for the programme to be changed again.MEPs were due to vote on energy labelling on goods, the 2008 budget and their position on a controversial bank data sharing deal.In addition, attempts by MEPs - several of whom twittered on the issue - to capitalise on opposition among many in their ranks to having monthly sessions in Strasbourg with suggestions to meet in Brussels this week instead were firmly rebuffed. A number of colleagues also suggested that the plenary session be moved from Strasbourg to Brussels but as the airports in both cities remain closed, there was no objective justification for such a last minute change,Mr Buzek wrote in a letter to deputies.

EU following Goldman fraud case
ANDREW WILLIS 19.04.2010 @ 17:53 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The European Commission has said it is closely monitoring the latest fraud case surrounding Wall Street investment bank Goldman Sachs, as allegations of mispractise draw sharp criticism in a number of European capitals. This is a fraud investigation that is being carried out in the United States. We are obviously following events with great interest,said commission spokeswoman Amelia Torres on Monday (19 April).The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the country's financial regulator, filed charges against Goldman late last week, accusing the company of failing to disclose full information to clients of one of its investment products, known as a collaterised debt obligation (CDO).UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown attacked the famous bank over the weekend, accusing it of moral bankruptcy, after the SEC listed the Royal Bank of Scotland, now 84 percent owned by British taxpayers following a series of government bail-outs, as one of the victims of the CDO at the centre of the case. The US complaint alleges Goldman and Fabrice Tourre, a 31-year old vice president with the firm, hid from investors the fact that the hedge fund Paulson & Co had been influential in determining the composition of loans going into the CDO created by Goldman in 2007. While most investors sought high returns from the structured finance product, Paulson placed bets that the mortgage-linked assets would fall. Nine months after the creation of the CDO, 99 percent of its loans had been downgraded, netting $1 billion for Paulson & Co., and costing the Royal Bank of Scotland $841 million.Everything I find out convinces me that we have got to go in deeper, and I believe that I am the man to deal with these problems,said an election-mode Mr Brown.

Germany has also indicated its interest in the case. The country's IKB bank was an early victim of the credit crunch, losing almost the entirety of its $150 million investment in the Goldman CDO. Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman, Ulrich Wilhelm, said the German regulator BaFin will ask the SEC for detailed information. After a careful evaluation of the documents, we will examine legal steps,he said, report national media. Analysts said the latest revelations could speed the passage of a US financial regulation bill set to hit the senate floor in the coming days, with a subsequent knock-on effect for Europe. Supposing the US adopts legislation before the summer, which is not impossible, this will then become the benchmark for the EU, Nicolas VĂ©ron, a financial services analyst with the Brussels-based Bruegel think-tank, told EUobserver. EU internal market and financial services commissioner Michel Barnier is set to propose new legislation on financial derivatives this June, likely to lead to extensive debate between member states and inside the European Parliament.France and other members of the G20 group of leading countries have pledged to regulate the $450 trillion global derivatives market by the end of 2012.

The US announcement of an investigation into Goldman last week comes on top of EU criticism earlier this year that Goldman helped Greece to hide the true extent its debt pile, using a different financial product known as a currency swap. The bank has insisted no rules have been broken in either case.

8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

ISAIAH 24:17-23 KJV
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

ZECHARIAH 14:12-13
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

A far-right for the Facebook generation: The rise and rise of JobbikGabor Vona, the 32-year-old Jobbik leader and founder of the Magyar Garda (Photo: Flickr)
LEIGH PHILLIPS 19.04.2010 @ 21:03 CET


EUOBSERVER / FEATURE - Last week, Europeans woke up to the sinister news that in the heart of Europe a thoroughly far-right party, the Movement for a Better Hungary, or Jobbik, had won 17 percent of the vote in general elections, almost beating the governing Socialists into third place.Most European nations have their share of far-right fringe groups. But Jobbik is openly anti-semitic and anti-gypsy. It is the founder of a rapidly growing, jackbooted and black-uniformed paramilitary, the Magyar Garda, and it is allied to pariahs such as the British National Party and France's Front National in the EU Parliament. How could such an out-and-out fascist outfit climb so vertiginously high up the greasy pole of politics in the modern era?

It is the clearest sign yet that the economic crisis has woken Europe's most frightening demons.

Or so runs the media narrative.

Long-time watchers of the far-right in Europe describe this version of the story as lazy. Certainly, the crash, which hit Hungary harder than many European nations - it was the first EU member state to run to the IMF - played a role in last week's vote, but the tale is, they say, longer and more complicated.The frustration I have with the sudden burst of media coverage is that for most of the time, the far-right phenomenon is not treated seriously, complains Graeme Atkinson, the European editor of the UK's anti-fascist monthly, Searchlight.They're treated as cranks, so papers don't write about them, don't notice them. And then suddenly something like this happens and they think the sky is falling.I don't go for either picture. It's not that the crisis has suddenly caused this. This is a phenomenon that goes back much further than the last two years ... Of course it exacerbates the situation - it would be surprising if the crisis did not result in some increased support for the far-right. But it's a long-term phenomenon that needs monitoring and countering. It's no reason to panic and then forget about it once the next big news item happens.
Mr Atkinson actually lays the bulk of the blame on the centre-left establishment in Europe: Social democrats everywhere have abandoned their traditional constituency. This is the vacuum the far right are filling.As socialist and labour parties have, pace Tony Blair, embraced business, backed privatisation and instituted social spending cuts, he argues, extremist ideas provide an easy answer to the thousands that feel disoriented by the slings and arrows of the free market.The Perspective Institute, a Budapest polling firm, demographically backs this analyis, noting already in an analysis after last year's European elections in which the party scored 14.8 percent that left-wing voters were en masse turning toward Jobbik: The Hungarian extreme right doesn't primarily recruit its supporters from the centre-right but instead from the leftist camp disappointed with the governmental performance of MSZP [the Socialists]. Jobbik, in certain cases, succeeded in doubling its nationwide share of the votes in cities that had been Socialist strongholds.

Support for far-right ideas doubles in ten years

Hungarian liberal think-tank Political Capital meanwhile has been measuring support for far-right ideas across Europe for a number of years. According to its latest Demand for Right-Wing Extremism (Derex) index, which gauges people's predisposition to far-right politics in 32 European countries, 21 percent of Hungarians are open to extreme right-wing ideas, the highest percentage of any European country other than Bulgaria, where 24.6 percent of the population is so predisposed.Just seven years ago in 2003, only 10 percent of Hungarians had such a propensity, according to the think-tank's surveys. Poland at the same time also had a score of 10 percent. This has since fallen to 6.5 percent.But here it's doubled. The extreme right has profited from a massive growth in disaffection from the political elite. This feeling is not just anti-establishment. They oppose the entire system. They want to get rid of the whole thing,Political Capital analyst Alex Kuli says.Jobbik's growth was unremarkable until the last four years, when it began its meteoric ascent. The key event was in autumn 2006, when street protests in which the party played a key role rampaged through Budapest following the leak of an audiotape revealing that the then Socialist Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany had lied in order to win elections.

But why such a response? There have been political scandals elsewhere.

There was the expenses scandal in the UK, sure, but what happened? asks Mr Kuli. People are investigated by the police, they resign, expelled from the party. They are humiliated. In Hungary, there is a feeling that there is no recourse to the law. People are caught stealing from the public purse and not a single thing is done against them.

Radical youth

One of the most disturbing aspects of the Jobbik phenomenon is how young and educated many of its supporters are. Far-right supporters elsewhere are thought of as the rural uneducated or, in the urban context, to use an old term, lumpenproletarian. But in Hungary so many of them are the Bright Young Things. They believe they are the radical ones, with a burning fire of injustice as self-righteous as any anti-G8 militant from Genoa to Gothenburg to Gleneagles.Hungarian pollster Forsense noted that Jobbik and the country's small Green party, the LMP, together won 24 percent of all votes in the election, but a full 40 percent of votes cast by those under age 24. Almost half of the voters for the two parties are under 35 years of age and only 10 percent of them are over 55.The 2006 events radicalised Hungarian youth. But rather than looking to the left, as disaffected youth have ever done in the West, and once again over the past decade, from the Seattle anti-WTO demonstrations to anti-Iraq war protests in Barcelona, Paris and London and beyond, in Hungary, those who described themselves as left, in the form of the corrupt Socialist party of wealthy businessman Ferenc Gyurcsany, were the ones they were demonstrating against.There's no attraction for angry young people to join something to the left of the [Socialists] because this politic is completely discredited after the collapse of the Soviet bloc, so you just don't get this,Mr Kuli says.Zsolt Varkonyi, the group's presidential campaign chief readying himself for the party's run in the upcoming June presidential elections, at 54 years old is one of the more senior members: There is a big age-gap between me and them. Most of them could be my sons and daughters.

Jobbik's national spokeswoman Dora Duro, for example, he says, is just 22.They get out of school, university and they find themselves without a job. Everyone, even doctors, economists - there has been a huge wave of young people joining the party, he says.Adam Schonburger, an anti-Jobbik campaigner and an organiser with the Budapest Jewish Youth Organisation, has tried to focus his activities on educating young people about Jewish and Gypsy culture, organising an annual festival in the hope they will learn from other sources than the slick Jobbik website and internet chatrooms.University student government is largely controlled by Jobbik, particularly the humanities faculty,he says.You know that Jobbik was actually created by a student government? There is very strong support for Jobbik in the universities,says Adam LeBor, the Hungary correspondent for the Times and the author of the Budapest Protocol, a political thriller that came out last year that focuses on anti-gypsy oppression in the country.Part of this is the economic situation. It is indeed very hard for young people to find a job, but the crucial element is that Jobbik has an extremely savvy web presence, enabling them to sidestep the traditional media and speak directly to youth, to the Facebook generation. It even has pages in English, well-written English that isn't garbled. The other parties haven't really done this.It's a lot more complex than just the nasties are marching.

Judapest

The Magyar Garda, the estimated 3,000-strong paramilitary group founded by Jobbik leader Gabor Vona, has taken to calling the capital Judapest.Socialist Party election posters were defaced with Stars of David and the Jewish community mounted a thousand-strong demonstration the week before the election after a rabbi's windows were stoned during Passover. Orthodox Jews in the supermarket are saluted with a raised arm Heil Hitler. But Mr LeBor says that as terrifying as this is, it is not anti-semitism that is really what he calls the mobilising issue. The mobilising issue is racism against gypsies, which is much more widespread.He blames previous administrations for doing nothing to tackle the problems of the Roma community: No government of any stripe has managed to deal with the situation of the Roma, who live in utter squalor, with high levels of unemployment. It's the classic strategy: in times of crisis, you seek a scapegoat.Roma homes and individuals have been repeatedly shot at and firebombed with Molotov cocktails. In 2009, eight gypsies were killed in incidents police believe to be deliberately targetted against the community.

Gypsy Crime and Israeli companies

Roberto Fiore, leader of Italy's neo-Nazi Forza Nuova addressed a Jobbik rally in Budapest in November last year, but the Jobbik youngsters do not think of themselves as fascists at all. They view themselves as part of a generational change in Hungary,the Political Capital think-tank's Mr Kuli adds. The rest of the world may not be able to speak Hungarian, but the hyper-educated Hungarian youth can read English and know what the rest of the world is saying about them. The Jobbik kids are not big fans.Jobbik are not Nazis, they insist, with the party's English-language website contrasting a relatively gentle picture of Jobbik voters in military traditional dress with a German skinhead with a large swastika tattoo on his neck, whom the caption describes as a Nazi imbecile.On the day of the election, the Jobbik website published an rejoinder raging against the international coverage of the party and in particular an article in The Scotsman newspaper entitled Anti-Roma rhetoric pays off for far right in Hungary explaining why so many people were voting for the party: The scenario is classic. Hungary's economy is in crisis, its large Roma minority is an easy scapegoat, and a far-right party blaming gypsy crooks and welfare spongers is set to be the big winner.Responding to what a Jobbik web-writer viewed in the Scottish report as vicious slander, the party's missive reads: What is this 'classic scenario? Quite simple really. Central Europeans + Economic Downturn = (or rather, must and can only equal) Hateful Extremists and persecution of minorities ... Take a few pennies out of a Hungarian's pocket, and he turns almost immediately into a slavering ultra-nationalist who on the way back from clubbing a local gypsy, will pause only to hurl yet another brick through the windows of his nearest synagogue.Mr Varkonyi, the Jobbik spokesman, says the party is only reminding Hungarians of what Israeli President Shimon Peres himself admitted.
He refers to the boast by Mr Peres of how well his country's real estate sector had been doing at a gathering of businessmen in Tel Aviv in October 2007. The economic situation in Israel is excellent. We are buying up Manhattan, Romania, Hungary and Poland, all due to Israeli business acumen and connections.When EUobserver proposes that Mr Varkonyi perhaps might be misinterpreting the Israeli president's speech, Mr Varkonyi says: Look, 70 percent of Budapest belongs to Israeli companies. These were not empty words - there was something behind it.Krisztina Morvai, an MEP for the party and Jobbik's presidential candidate once spat: So-called proud Hungarian Jews should go back to playing with their tiny little circumcised tails.

But even she, a mother of three and practising human rights lawyer who once worked for the United Nations, styles her anti-Jewish rhetoric not with the bile of a Der Sturmer polemic, but couched in a pro-Palestinian discourse, albeit one that Palestinian solidarity groups elsewhere distance themselves from. In February, 2009, following Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip that killed 1400 Palestinians, she wrote in a letter to the Jewish state's ambassador to Hungary: The only way to talk to people like you is by assuming the style of Hamas. I wish all of you lice-infested, dirty murderers will receive Hamas' kisses.Mr Varkonyi also insists that the party's strategy for dealing with the gypsy problem is no different to what is being done in Italy or Slovakia.And there is a reality to what we say about gypsy crime. There were 118 case of gypsies committing crimes against Hungarians from 1993 to 2009.We don't need sociological explanations when it is suggested to him that crime rates may grow amongst economically dislocated, racially oppressed communities. How does a sociological explanation feel to an old lady who has had her head cut off by an 18-year-old gypsy, or a girl who is tied to a tree and raped and then set on fire?

Political magpies

We are not even a right-wing party,declares Mr Varkonyi. We do not believe in the division between left and right. The true division is between those who want globalisation and those who do not. We are a patriotic party.He goes on to approvingly quote the left-wing Franco-American Tobin-Tax and anti-Lisbon-Treaty campaigner Susan George, criticising the privatisation of energy and water companies.There is some cross-over with the anti-globalisation protests [at the turn of the millenium]. But the difference is that we respect private property. We are different from the Seattle protestors in that we want local private property but not a global version of private property.Indeed, the Jobbik website article goes on to try to deliver as proof that the party are not your average Nazi boneheads a laundry-list of policies, which, in all fairness, no one would be surprised to hear coming out of the mouths of the likes of leftist figures such as a Jose Bove, Oscar Lafontaine or Olivier Besancenot: rejecting IMF austerity measures, the influence of agribusiness and unrestricted cowboy-capitalism.However, Jobbik, like any classic far-right formation, are political magpies, picking and choosing from the left and the right. Its website article that is supposed to explode myths about the party goes on to explain, without giving evidence, how gypsies increase crime in whichever country they go to, promotes Greater Hungary chauvinism - aiming to restore Hungary to its pre-World-War-One borders - and demands the return of the Csendorseg, the Hungarian Gendarmerie, the country's chief agents of Jewish deportations during the Holocaust, notorious for robberies, acts of torture and a viciousness which startled even the Germans.When the Gendarmerie walked down the street and gypsies saw them, they would run away. They knew someone was watching them,warns Mr Varkonyi.

2006 riots

Vilmos Hanti, the president of the Hungarian Federation of Resistance Fighters and Anti-fascists (Measz), which dates back to 1945, blames the youthful attraction to the far-right on a gap in the school curriculum after 1990.History books used in the schools are without a word of criticism regarding the role of Hungary in the Second World War. The young people of today know very little about Hungarian anti-fascist resistance,he says.In spite of our efforts, a museum presenting Hungarian resistance to young people was never realised.In the six months that followed the 2006 anti-Gyurcsany riots in Budapest, Jobbik boosted its profile with a militant campaign against Gypsy crime.Then, further building on its notoriety, the following year, the party launched the paramilitary Magyar Garda, or Hungarian Guard.The Magyar Garda, attired in black boots, black trousers, white shirt and black vest, take their oaths under the red-and-white striped flag of Arpad, the banner of the Arrow Cross, the Hungarian fascists who murdered between 10,000 and 15,000 Jews and together with the Gendarmes sent 80,000 to their deaths in Auschwitz.The Budapest Jewish Youth Organisation's Mr Schonburger says that the police in many cases are leaving the Hungarian Guard to solve problems: They say We can't help. Go ask the Hungarian Guard.Still, even two years after the riots, as late as December 2008, the party could not claim more than roughly three percent of voters. Over the following five months, it started to climb sharply as the economic crisis began to pinch, winning 14.8 percent or 428,000 votes cast in the June 2009 European Parliamentary elections, making it for the first time a serious political force.

And then onn 10 April 2010, the party won 16.7 percent or 844,000 ballots, doubling its number of voters in less than a year.While Jobbik, led by 32-year-old Gabor Vona, a history teacher and founder of the Hungarian Guard - who has said he will wear his Magyar Garda uniform when sworn in as an MP - has won over thousands of young people, it is not true to say that they form the majority of the party's voters. The bulk of Jobbik's support actually comes from the east of the country, where there is enormous economic dislocation. There, one finds a strong correlation between such poverty and support for Jobbik.It should also be remembered that in Budapest, the LMP, from its Hungarian acronym for Politics Can Be Different, which is affiliated to the European Green Party, is also a party of the young, and that it beat Jobbik into fourth place inside the capital. The Times' Mr Lebor thinks there may be some hope here: And this is a party that barely existed six months ago. All people really know about them is that they are sort of green and progressive. They don't know much more.Mr Kuli, for his part, is dismissive of the upstart LMP, a left-wing group but untarnished by any link to the Communist Party. Their leader, Andras Schiffer, a lawyer, in the 1990s defended a bar that refused entry to two gypsies and the husband of the party's number six on their list is a legal advisor to Jobbik, so is there a real human rights commitment there or is it opportunism?

Searchlight's Mr Atkinson is quite pessimistic about the chances for a movement against the growth of the far right in the country: Measz [the official Hungarian anti-fascist organisation] are very elderly, and maybe a bit old Stalinist, so there is that mark against them,he concedes. But they were very heroic people in their time, although they are not really up for a fight now. There are no young anti-racist or anti-fascist groups that I know of, at least not on the scale that exist in most Western countries, even in eastern countries, Russia.There is no real opposition in Hungary. It would be nice to see if something happens with the [LMP], although I worry they don't have much of a base.

Will Fidesz take them on?

And what of Fidesz, the socially conservative party of family values and law and order that won the election? After winning a whopping 52.8 percent of the vote and heading for an even better result in the second round that should give it a two-thirds majority in the parliament, it has no need to build a coalition with the far-right. Many are thankful that this at least this puts something of a break on and perhaps reverses Jobbik's advance, which according to some polls, had reached 25 percent support ahead of the voting.After the first round of voting, Fidesz' charismatic leader, Victor Orban, said he would take on Jobbik: No radical party will be allowed to get rid of law and order in this country, he told reporters. Democracy in this country is strong enough to defend itself.However, Mr Atkinson believes Fidesz is a worry in itself: I cringe when I see some in the press refer to Fidesz as centre-right.They're not. They're nationalist populist, what in German is sometimes referred to as a Volkisch right.Fidesz, itself once a party of youth - the name is an acronym of Fiatal Demokratak Szovetsege, or Alliance of Young Democrats - was founded in 1988 as a libertarian anti-Communist party, joining the Liberal International in 1992. After a poor showing in the 1994 elections, it switched allegiance from liberalism to conservatism.The British anti-fascist editor says Mr Orban is a political chameleon, shifting ideology to whatever will keep him in power. He notes that the party has been in coalition with Jobbik at the local level in around 100 municipalities.In 2008, Fidesz MP Oszkar Molnar, who was also mayor of Edeleny, a town in eastern Hungary, famously claimed that pregnant Roma women take medication to give birth to fools to receive higher family subsidies. I have checked this and it's true; they hit their bellies with a rubber hammer so that they'll give birth to handicapped kids.Responding to Mr Molnar's statement, Mr Orban said only that his speech was embarrassing,although the MP was later dropped from national lists and quit the party.But Mr Kuli, from the Poltical Capital think-tank, thinks the conservative party should be given the benefit of the doubt for now. Fidesz has dealt with these issues very gingerly, it is true. But it's a political calculation. They do not want to alienate their rural support by taking decisive action against Molnar and send them into the arms of Jobbik. I don't necessarily support this strategy, but this is why they acted this way,he said.The Times' Mr LeBor believes that to call Fidesz Jobbik lite is a complete nonsense. During the election campaign it made great efforts to distance itself from Jobbik. Like all parties, they include a wide range of views. Some of their MPs are more right-wing than others.The Budapest Jewish Youth Organisation's Mr Schonburger also does not think Fidesz are wolves in centre-right sheep's clothing, but he does wish the party was more forthright in countering Jobbik: We are hoping for the incoming government to make a clear statement on the issue in the next two weeks, Orban needs to make more public statements about what has happened. But I don't know if they are willing to. We certainly don't see any clear statement coming from them yet.He is however furious at the post-Hungarian election triumphalism of other conservative parties across Europe: How can they call this a victory? How can they celebrate when so many people have voted for Jobbik? This is the most important issue facing Hungary, maybe even more important than the economic crisis. Something is going on here. How in the middle of Europe, in this new part of the EU, can we have such radical voters, Jobbik, the Hungarian Guard?

Analyst Mr Kuli is more optimistic: What will Hungary look like in two years? Orban says he will be able to renegotiate the terms of the IMF deal. But he has very little room to manoeuvre. At the same time, the stability that a supermajority gives Fidesz - it will be the most stable government since 1990 - shouldn't be forgotten. And the economic gurus around him are very intelligent men.But even he issues a warning: The trick is if Orban goes further with austerity measures. If his voters see that he doesn't have their dreams in mind, I think you'd see protests against him as well.And Jobbik will be ready and waiting in the wings.

Nationalist victory threatens Cyprus peace process
LEIGH PHILLIPS 19.04.2010 @ 09:26 CET


A right-wing nationalist appears to have won the presidential election in northern Cyprus, potentially threatening hopes for reunification of the divided island.Dervis Eroglu, the 72-year-old leader of the conservative National Unity Party, has won 50.38 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results posted on the website of the Turkish Cypriot High Electoral Board, beating left-wing incumbent Mehmet Ali Talat of the social-democratic Republican Turkish Party with 42.85 percent.If the results are confirmed by the country's electoral commission, Mr Ergolu, currently the prime minister of Turkish-controlled Cyprus, which is recognised as a country by Turkey only, would avoid a run-off vote.While Mr Talat has been a strong supporter of the renewed peace process and ultimately of the reunification of Cyprus, Mr Eroglu wants to see separate Greek and Turkish Cypriot states.No-one must think that I will walk away from the negotiating table. The talks process will continue, he told NTV, a Turkish broadcaster, however. I will work with goodwill for a solution that takes my community's rights into account.Analysts say his victory is due to frustration with the peace process among northern Cypriots.Mr Talat has repeatedly met with his Greek Cypriot counterpart, Demetris Christofias, of the far-left Akel party since talks restarted in 2008. But the deadlock remains despite their ideological proximity. Northerners are especially annoyed by Greek Cyprus' blockade of its access to EU markets. During campaigning Mr Eroglu talked of equal, sovereign peoples in a reference to two separate states. He also rejects a solution that would permit Greek Cypriots to reclaim their property in the north.The island has been divided since Turkey's invasion in 1974 in response to a Greek-inspired coup in Nicosia aimed at uniting the island with Greece.

Reunification talks resumed in September 2008 with strong support from Ankara, which faces problems with its EU entry bid because of the situation.In 2006 the EU blocked eight negotiating areas from further discussion due to Turkey's failure to meet commitments regarding Cyprus, notably its refusal to allow Cypriot ships and planes into Turkish territory.For its part, Turkey maintains that Europe has not fulfilled its own promises regarding expanded links with Northern Cyprus, after Turkish Cypriots voted in favour of the UN peace plan for re-unification of the island in 2004, just before Cyprus joined the EU.Greek Cypriots living on the southern part of the island voted down the proposal, which resulted in the island entering the union in its divided form.The EU considers the whole of the island to be part of the bloc. However, in the northern part of the island, EU legislation is suspended.

Israel Rejects Turkish Request to Buy Arms
by Hana Levi Julian APR 20,

Israel has declined a request by Turkey to purchase several different military systems, including an anti-tank guided weapon and a missile system for its navy. The request by the Turkish government was rejected by Israel's SIBAT, the defense assistance and export organization, which is currently reviewing each order on a case-by-case basis.Turkey said it wanted to buy the Spike non-line-of-site (NLOS) anti-tank guided weapon, the Namer heavy infantry fighting vehicle, and the Israel Aerospace Industries' (IAI) Barak 8 theater-defense missile system for its navy, according to UK-based Jane's Defence Weekly. Israel did, however, deliver the last of 170 upgraded M60A1 main battle tanks (MBTs) to the Turkish military on April 7 through a joint contract between Israel Military Industries (IMI) and Turkey's Aselsan, shepherded along by Columbia.The move is seen as a response to Turkey's increasing anti-Israel rhetoric and the pro-Islamic leanings in its foreign and domestic policies.An Israeli defense official was quoted by the military publication as saying, Ties with Turkey will never be the way they once were. We are being very careful which systems we sell them, due to the growing Islamic trends in the country.Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Recep Erdogan harshly criticized Israel during and following its counter terrorism Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, which ran from December 28, 2008 to January 20, 2009.

Since that time, relations between the two countries have steadily deteriorated, a trend reflected in Turkey's decision in October 2009 to bar Israel's Air Force from participating in the joint Anatolian Eagle exercises. Turkey ultimately chose to cancel the drill rather than back down in response to pressure from the United States and Italy, who were also set to participate.As a result, Israel has also been searching for new air space in which to conduct long-range training exercises, since Turkey has refused the IAF use of its air space. Recently the Defense Ministry has been exploring the possibility of renewing a 2006 agreement to deploy IAF fighter jets in Romania. (IsraelNationalNews.com)
