On 23 October 2006, Ferenc Gyurcsány committed a political and historical crime that will never expire

The Brussels Representation of the Foundation for a Civic Hungary and the “Magyar Hullám” (Hungarian Wave) Public Life and Cultural Association jointly organised the Brussels premiere of the film ‘The Cost of Deception’ (‘Elk*rtuk’). In his welcome address, MEP Tamás Deutsch, Head of the Fidesz delegation to the European Parliament, emphasized that on the 50th anniversary of the 1956 revolution, Ferenc Gyurcsány committed political and historical crimes at the same time: He ordered the use of mass unlawful police violence to crush those protesting against his lies, he trampled the Hungarian rule of law with bloody police boots, and he wanted to take revenge on well-meaning Hungarians for the political frustrations over 1956 permeating the entire post-communist left. “The Hungarian left must never again be allowed even close to power, otherwise it may again take up arms against its nation”, MEP Tamás Deutsch warned.

Ferenc Gyurcsány’s political crime, which will never be forgiven, was that on 23 October 2006, on his orders, “literally bloody police boots trampled on the rule of law in Hungary”, which was an open declaration of war against the most elementary democratic and rule of law norms. It was a political crime that “Gyurcsány used police terror against those having different views and, as the leader of the post-communist Hungarian left, sought to take revenge on well-meaning Hungarians for personal, family and political frustrations over 1956 and those permeating the entire post-communist left”, he stressed.

“The conniving cover-up and silence of the rulers of Brussels in connection with the Gyurcsány police terror of 2006, letting down Hungarians, as well as the rule of law and democracy, completely discredit all the Brussels bureaucrats’ talk about the rule of law”, the Head of the delegation underlined.

“After 1945, in 1956 and in 2006, the Hungarian left took up arms against its nation. Therefore, the Hungarian left must never again be allowed even close to power, otherwise it may again take up arms against its nation”, MEP Tamás Deutsch said in conclusion.
