Several people were outraged after Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's speech in Tusványos. The president of Mazsihisz asked the Prime Minister for an appointment in order to clarify the phrase "we don't want to become a mixed race" taken out of context. András Heisler indicated that what was said caused serious concern within the Hungarian Jewish community.
According to the left, Orbán Viktor Tusnádfürdő began to expound on racial theory. With Ferenc Gyurcsány at their head, several people indicated that they thought it was a Nazi text. We contacted Holocaust survivor János Turai, the head of the Duna-Ipoly-Galga Holocaust Research and Education Center and the Váci Jewish Community to find out if we can really talk about exclusionary sentences.
János Turai indicated from the beginning that, contrary to Mazsihisz's claim, there was no concern among the Hungarian Jewish community regarding Viktor Orbán's speech. According to him, there is nothing wrong with the fact that Hungary wants to remain a nation-state and that is why it is important to curb illegal migration. He said that the prime minister is as far from racism as Makó is from Jerusalem. And as a Holocaust survivor, he knows very well what an original Nazi speech or fascist thoughts are like. He emphasized that Viktor Orbán's speech in Tusványosi cannot be compared to Nazi speeches.
Moreover, Jewish culture and its support are experiencing a renaissance in Hungary, in contrast to many Western European countries, where synagogues have to be protected with machine guns and armored vehicles. In several countries, Jews are no longer allowed to walk through certain areas (no-go zones) in kippahs, because they are afraid that they will be attacked. "In Hungary, I can easily walk down the street in a kipa, and I don't have to fear that someone will shoot me from one of the windows," said János Turai.
