It is extremely worrying that the extreme, anti-Semitic expressions and symbols of the political past, believed to be buried, appear from time to time in the ranks of Jobbik, said Chief Rabbi Tamás Róna, president of ZSIMA.

Tamás Róna reacted to the American newspaper Jewish Voice's article entitled "Old Jobbik, in a new bottle" about politicians who made anti-Semitic statements, namely Dániel Z. Kárpát and his colleagues, who wrote about the leading role in the party. Ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections, Tamás Róna also considers it worrisome that these politicians are high on the opposition's joint list. Thus , it is conceivable that anti-Semitism can be represented in the Hungarian Parliament on the so-called left-liberal side.

According to the president of ZSIMA, for thinking and believing people, these worrying phenomena call into question the sincerity and seriousness of the opposition coalition even more. Two days before our national holiday, the Holy Scriptures came to life: we are responsible for each other, and the word of human love given by the Almighty expects from all of us the exaltation of the nation, not disunity and hostility.
