Mr Rogan rightly says that there is nothing that he can do as mayor to prevent the display of a bust

The government will not form an official position concerning a controversial monument of Regent Miklos Horthy, Hungary s leader in the interwar period and during WWII, which was erected rv travel trailer in Budapest last weekend, Janos Lazar, head of the Prime Minister s Office, said on Monday.
Answering a question at a press conference held on another subject, Lazar insisted that the monument had been initiated by a political party, rv travel trailer and the ruling parties had already published their reactions. He added that the interwar period was to be assessed by historians rather than by politicians.
A Horthy bust was unveiled on Sunday by radical nationalist Jobbik lawmaker Eniko Hegedus in the foreground of a Calvinist church, a privately-owned area, on Szabadsag Square in downtown Budapest. The commemoration of Horthy, who led the country from 1920 to 1944, was attended by about 400 people, some of whom had WWII military or gendarme uniforms on or wore the uniform of the banned Hungarian Guard.
He reiterated rv travel trailer his Sunday statement according to which the event was a provocation. This is not a new statue, he said, but a statue that had been in the church for years has been brought out, obviously for the sake of provocation.
Meanwhile, the Reformed Church initiated disciplinary proceedings against Lorant Hegedus, pastor of the church, where the monument was erected. Bishop Istvan Szabo voiced dismay and said in a statement that an investigation had been launched to establish if Hegedus has done everything to promote his church s good reputation, and if he has sought to avoid any scandalising behaviour and forbear from activities that could divide his community .
Head of the World Jewish Congress Ronald S. Lauder expressed outrage in a statement. He said that Horthy had been a close ally to Adolf Hitler, and during his rule over 500,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to Nazi death camps.
"It is a historical travesty to publicly honor a man who introduced anti-Jewish laws in 1938, who sided with Adolf Hitler before rv travel trailer and during World War II and who did nothing to prevent the murder of Hungarian Jewry, the statement said.
The federation of Hungarian rv travel trailer Jewish communities (Mazsihisz) voiced shock over the unacceptable unveiling ceremony and welcomed the civil protest it had elicited. Mazsihisz also voiced hope that cooperation within society, individual participation and a firm stance by democratic parties will rein in anti-Semitic attitudes .
On the other hand, Hegedus announced that he would sue all those who disrupted the ceremonial service marking the 75th anniversary of the foundation of (his) church . The pastor also said he would sue Socialist deputy Pal Steiner for allegedly calling his church anti-Semitic, and Christian Democrat MP Bence Retvari, who called the unveiling ceremony a provocation.
Earlier in the day, Steiner called on Reformed Church leaders to have the statue removed from the foreground of the church in Szabadsag Square. In separate letters to Bishops Gusztav Bolcskei and Istvan Szabo, Steiner referred to Hegedus as a pastor associated with a number of extremist, anti-Semitic expressions . Steiner also said it was appalling that Marton Gyongyosi, a deputy of radical national Jobbik, who had earlier proposed that deputies and government members rv travel trailer of Jewish origin should be listed, was allowed to promote his views in a church rv travel trailer of the Calvinist rv travel trailer faith , making an address at the unveiling ceremony.
Mr Rogan rightly says that there is nothing that he can do as mayor to prevent the display of a bust on private rv travel trailer property. Very well, has he considered building a wall of an appropriate height on public property so that passers-by do not have to be offended by the sight of this reminder of Hungary s shameful Nazi-friendly past? If not a wall then perhaps a vertical grille to remind us of where the subject of the statue should have finshed up in 1945?
The main charge against Horthy is his inaction during the first stage of the Holocaust. In summer 1944 437,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz. Most were killed on arrival. This could not have happened without the willing assistance of the Hungarian state, especially the brutal Gendarmerie, rv travel trailer who rounded the Jews up, forced them into ghettos and onto the trains.
rv travel trailer Hungary s relatively rv travel trailer mild anti-Jewish Laws, which were passed under German pressure, appeased the Nazis enough to create a relatively safe environment for the Jews before the 1944 German invasion- It seems certain that the survival rv travel trailer of 124,000 Hungarian Jews in Budapest
until the arrival of the Soviets would have been impossible without Horthy s years of foot-dragging reluctance to implement German orders. On 15 July 1944 Anne McCormick, a foreign correspondent for The New York Times wrote in defense of Hungary as the last refuge of Jews in Europe, declaring that as long as they exercised any authority in their own house, the Hungarians tried to protect the Jews.
A few months ago I spent an hour on Regent rv travel trailer Horthy and I all I could come up with is that he was a contentious rv travel trailer figure and history was divided What Hungary needs is for its people to live in harmony which will never happen unless all victims of the Holocaust within Hungary (Jews, Roma, gay, disabled, dissenters ) and all the Hungarians murdered during the Stalin era are equally remembered and all those lost lives are considered equally sacred. The some are more equal than others results in pain and hatred
I tried to find some information about Horthy rv travel trailer on the American Hungarian website because I consider the site reliable and fair but I only found a very moving rv travel trailer letter from Lantos including this one paragraph:
He noted that Colonel Koszorús' courageous intervention enabled rv travel trailer Wallenberg, rv travel trailer who arrived in Budapest on 9 July 1944, to begin his rescue mission. Had Colonel Koszorús not intervened, Wallenberg would have had far fewer lives to save
- Why was Tamas Fellegi attacked rv travel trailer by Eva B. and the people who commented on her blog ? Fellegi s parents were Jewish H. Survivors, yet people attacked him with a vengeance in Feb 2013 because he was not willing to throw the present gov t under the bus. (if you think the Left cam not be revolting, I strongly disagree)
Trianon is a horrific tragedy to Hungarians and negating it is very counter-productive to good will within Hungary and I see how it unleashes absolute venom instead of respect for Holocaust victims ; it ought not be like that and could so easily be remedied
I think if all the victims memories were equally respected in museums and memorials which I mentioned to wolf on the Trianon Museam thread less resentment would follow of course wolfi s response was simply attacking me with weasel words which is about as worrisome as having my nail polish chip.
You sound like a 6-year old talking about a neighbor who turned out to be a criminal: He was always so nice to me. He always gave me candy. My girlfriend also loves her. Trust me, my girlfriend isn t a criminal, she would know
You twisted my words on another thread about wolf s influence and I corrected it, writing that he opened my eyes about how disgusting the Left could be he is in under the heading of disgusting you have comprehension problems.
I admit, you don t show the cynicism justasking and Leto show but you sound mighty naive. I have no idea how old you are but I m starting to suspect that you are not an adult. Only children act the way you do. If that s the case, you shouldn t be on this forum.
Ok here goes another explanation although I wonder if you are referring to my youth just to make you look like a new person on politics, rv travel trailer because people know my background just like we know a lot of other people s background whose hobby is not using fake names or new names for each week. Gutless wonders IMHO if I am allowed to have one that is
I was born in BP and my parents rv travel trailer left in 56 so I grew up in Toronto rv travel trailer I was so immersed in the Hungarian culture that the only Hungarian friend I ever had in Canada is JA and I met her on this website. We disliked each other intensely until we understood each other and we met in Hungary and spent weeks together rv travel trailer in 2011 and 2012.
My 2 two babies are old enough to have the same post grad degrees and working rv travel trailer for a number of years, rv travel trailer but of course I started having kids at 10 so I am still in my 40 s like JA who has two little kids. (Maybe you missed a Canadian headline : 10 year old Hungarian girl gives birth to a beautiful baby girl that was me.
I am not respond to your Trianon nonsense, go lobby the American Hungarian Federation to change their website and their opinions. Tell them to censor digesting racist people like Tamas Fellegi while you are at it
I wonder if just an observation is going to crawl out of the woodwork and claim it s balck and white that you are a racist because of that one statement. Think about how racist it sounds if you took it out of context , knowing you were being sarcastic. My crystal ball tells me your words will not be twisted so no worries
If I found out I had Jewish or Roma blood in my veins I have nothing to feel guilty about anything I posted on this site nor would I change one word. Your dishonesty is unique among the Lefties who are constant with using the same names; I may not agree with them all the time but they are honest rv travel trailer which is a word you are missing from your dictionary like Viktor Orban is missing other words from his.
Jobbik rv travel trailer has once again shown its true colors: It is an anti-Semitic, fanatic and anti-democratic party. It is high time Hungary takes decisive action against the party and prevents statues of an associate of the most evil mass murderer of all times.
