Enough of the left-wing herding, enough of the left-wing duplicity, enough of the selective sensitivity! When will the left dare to stand up for the victims even if the perpetrator is their left-wing ally? - asked Bence Rétvári, the parliamentary state secretary of the Ministry of Human Resources, on his social media page yesterday.
Will Tímea Szabó, Ágnes Vadai, Zita Gurmai, Ágnes Kunhalmi, Olga Kálmán, Anna Orosz, Erzsébet Gy. Németh come to the parliamentary session wearing a monocle, taped mouth and holding a candle? Or do they keep silent about Jobbik's latest harassment scandal, as they did in the case of Henrik Havas, Péter Gothár, Zsolt Gréczy and László Donáth? Or maybe they agree with Sándor Burány's statement that "sexual harassment is just coercion"? Rétvári asked before yesterday's parliamentary session. He then reminded his fellow left-wing representatives of their previous statements.
The silence on the left regarding the Jobbik molestation case is deafening. They are silent, even though a few years ago, many of these same left-wing women representatives issued a statement according to which: "If sexual harassment, one of the grossest forms of abuse of power, remains without consequences, then nothing will change in the country and society. If we do nothing today, then in 10, 20, 30 years, gut-wrenching stories and unspoken traumas will once again highlight the fact that we did not act when we should have. That we didn't protect the victims of sexual harassment, that we didn't stand up for those who often don't even dare to talk about the upheavals they've suffered." he said. Finally, he asked his question to the left-wing representatives:
Did the left-wing female representatives stomp around with the text of the Istanbul Convention in front of Péter Jakab's office, or did they once again look away when the perpetrator of a rape-related case is a left-winger?
