February 4, 2017 Published by: RF

Jobbik, the Hungarian extreme rightist party held its first conference of the year a few days ago. Its leader, Gabor Vona is trying to shed some of the most racist sides of his party to make it more “mainstream”.
Let’s not be fooled… They are all extremely anti-Rroma, anti-Jews, and anti-Moslems.
