We won\u2019t clap for Orb\u00e1n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A guest who does not deserve applause<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We firmly believe that it is crucial for a transnational Jewish umbrella organisation to advance good relations with governments. However, we fear that by inviting the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n, the World Jewish Congress and its affiliates risk legitimizing his government\u2019s actions,  therefore undermining future criticism of its policies concerning rising anti-Semitism and the situation of the Jewish community and other minorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four authors, known for their obvious anti-Semitic views were included in the Hungarian school curriculum in 2012. (J\u00f3zsef Ny\u00edr\u00f6, Istv\u00e1n Sinka, Dezs\u00f6 Szab\u00f3 and Albert Wass).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


We don\u2019t clap for Orb\u00e1n !<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under governmental support, several municipalities have begun to erect statues of Miklos Horthy, a military dictator who ruled Hungary from the end of World War I through most of World War II. Horthy is an incendiary figure in Hungarian-Jewish history because more than 500,000 Jews were murdered or sent to death camps while he remained nominally in power during the German occupation.
 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t clap for Orb\u00e1n!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hungarian government was directly involved in the reburial arrangements of J\u00f3zsef Ny\u00edro, whose coup resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands, and by doing so idolized him in front of the Hungarian nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t clap for Orb\u00e1n!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fidesz government has continuously modified the Hungarian constitution, removing democratic safeguards, to the extent that the European Union has threatened the government with legal action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t clap for Orb\u00e1n!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attacks against democracy are clear and continuous: crippling restriction of the freedom of the press, criminalisation of the homeless, impunity afforded to perpetrators of racist murders, and the strengthening of virulent anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join Jewish Students and do not applaud Viktor Orb\u00e1n until his government changes its policies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t clap for Orb\u00e1n!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
