Jobbik plans to hold a political rally in the former synagogue of Esztergom. The entire city's Jewish community was killed in the Holocaust.
BUDAPEST (EJP)----Efforts are underway to prevent Hungarian extreme-right and anti-Semitic party Jobbikto hold next week a political assembly in a building that used to be a synagogue in the city of Esztergom. The entire Jewish community in this city located 46 km (29 miles) north of Budapest, was killed during the Holocaust. The synagogue today is operated by the local government as a cultural center. The rally is part ofJobbik’s campaign ahead of elections in April. The party’s platform is laced with anti-Semitism and anti-Roma policy. Jobbik is the third largest party in Hungary with 43 of the 386 seats in the Parliament.
Budimpešta. Ulažu se napori da se spriječi ekstremnu desničarsku i antisemitsku partiju Jobbik da slijedeći tjedan održi politički zbor u zgradi koja je nekada bila sinagoga u gradu Esztergonu. Cijela židovska zajednica u tom gradu, koji se nalazi 46 km sjeverno od Budimpešte, je ubijena u Holokaustu. Danas sinagoga služi lokalnoj vladi kao kulturni centar. Ove demostracije su dio Jobbikove predizborne kampanje za izbore u travnju. Platforma te partije je anti-semitska i anti-romska. Jobbik je treća velika partija u Mađarskoj sa 43 (od 386) mjesta u Parlamentu.

“This rally will be literally and figuratively trampling on the graves of Holocaust victims.”
Predsjednik Europskog Židovskog kongresa dr. Moše Kantor je pozvao mađarsku vladu sa spriječi članove neonacističke partije Jobbik da održi demonstracije u nekadašnjoj sinagogi u gradu Esztergomu.
"Zajednica u
Esztergomu je " izbrisana" u Holokaustu i ta sinagoga nije u upotrebi danas jer su njeni Židovi ubijeni. Dok su nacisti fizički uništili zajednicu, njihovi ideološki nasljednici u Jobbiku ponovno je uništavaju svojim okupljanjem. Ta će demonstracija literalno i figurativno značiti plesanje na grobovima žrtava Holokausta....
