Prominent Hungarian Wants “Bestial” Gypsies Killed

Yesterday we noted the distressing anti-immigrant policies in Greece that have led to violent treatment of foreigners. We’ve also noted how another stressed EU member – Hungary – has gone even further down the road of xenophobic extremism (see http://blogs.the-american-interest.com/wrm/2011/12/22/fascist-zombies-from-hungary-threaten-eu/], here, and here).

 

But even by Hungarian standards things are getting ugly. The odious Zsolt Bayer, a prominent right-wing commentator with close ties to the ruling Fidesz government and its controversial Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, recently had this to say about the country’s Gypsy minority:

 

“A significant part of the Roma are unfit for coexistence. They are not fit to live among people. These Roma are animals, and they behave like animals. When they meet with resistance, they commit murder. They are incapable of human communication. Inarticulate sounds pour out of their bestial skulls. At the same time, these Gypsies understand how to exploit the ‘achievements’ of the idiotic Western world. But one must retaliate rather than tolerate. These animals shouldn’t be allowed to exist. In no way. That needs to be solved — immediately and regardless of the method.”

 

This chauvinist filth is an unmistakable call for ethnic cleansing, but was nevertheless published and subsequently defended by Magyar Hirlap, a newspaper with close ties to the government. As a shocked piece in Der Spiegel notes, marginal government ministers have expressed outrage, but the ruling party’s biggest players have remained silent.
