Verseck \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(2013) discusses the political aftermath of the Rroma murders in the context of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe trials in Hungary. He notes that with the demands of civil rights activists \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand lawyers, for the first time, there are good prospects for effective \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcompensation of the members of the families of the murdered Rroma. The \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHungarian Minister of Human Resources, Zoltan Balog, announced to want to \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcompensate relatives, as the Hungarian State carries a responsibility for the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcrimes committed. Balog, alluding to the still controversial circumstances, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tindicates that the Hungarian secret service monitored several of the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tperpetrators until shortly before the deeds, but for unknown reasons then stopped \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttheir investigation. Also, it took a disproportionately long time until the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHungarian authorities recognised the murders as being racist acts and ordered \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tan overall investigation. Rroma activists like Aladar Horvath welcome the efforts \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tof the Hungarian government to finally work out the events of the years 2008 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand 2009. After the events, no public official ever took position on the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvictims.<\/p>\n
