"If Jobbik gets anywhere near the government it would be a disaster for Hungary. We would be ostracised from the rest of Europe."

This is a bad thing?

What a hit piece this article is. Comparing right wing Jobbik with right wing gov't of the 1940s is not too far off, but to call it Fascist is a lie. Making the 1940s Hungarian gov't out as being terrible is also another falsehood -- the invastion of Hungary by Russia and its ensuing 22 years of communism was the darkest hour in Hungary's recent past. It was the right that gave Hungary progress -- it was the left that destroyed Hungary. Even the hard left communists are gone, the lefty socialists are still making their mark known and felt.

I found their website (in English), it doesn’t sound like they are espousing anything remotely resembling Nazism.

“Everyone must respect democratic norms and the will of the people” — said Vona, president of the Jobbik Party.

That’s more than what Obama is doing, regarding the will of the people.
