Historical déjà vu: members of the right - extreme party in Hungary demonstrated in front of the World Jewish Congress which is convening in the capital Budapest. Hundreds of supporters of the party, called "Yubik", participated in the demonstration, and some were carrying swastikas.
A communiqué issued by the party said that the demonstration is to protest against the "Jewish attempts to buy Hungary." The extreme party is an important player in the Hungarian political system and is the third largest in parliament. Often it raises anti-Semitic legislation.
The organizers of the demonstration said that they are doing it as a tribute to "victims of Zionism and Bolshevism - the Israeli occupation." Party chairman said: "These investors should look for another country because Hungary is not for sale." Another party member said, "Hungary has become enslaved to Zionism. The state became the focus of colonialism, while we, the original inhabitants, can play only as extras. "
The Hungarian Prime Minister tried to prevent the demonstration and ordered to stop it, but the court in the capital canceled his order.
The World Jewish Congress is held every year in Jerusalem, but this year it decided to hold the meeting in Hungary, because of anti-Semitism which arises in Europe. The annual conference theme is the increase in the number of neo - Nazi parties and anti-Semitic incidents in Europe.
