The Rise Of The Hungarian Guard

The  World Jewish Council  worries young people are forgetting the Holocaust and joing groups like the the "Hungarian Guard", who wear black uniforms and insignia reminiscent of the Nazi era.

"What is creating an environment in which 16 or 17-year-olds are suddenly becoming interested again in neo-Nazism and fascism?," WJC Secretary-General Michael Schneider said after meeting Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany.

What Happens In An Economic Downturn?

These movements draw from the disaffected, and the socially deprived. You can also add into the equation their parents who saw Nazis challenge the Jewish control of Europe. Most of the groups involved are small in number and unlikely to topple governments, but the problem could explode if ignited by a shock like a downturn in the economy, he said.
 

Gyurcsany Says He Will Deal With It

The Hungarian Guard, which denies it is anti-Semitic, has drawn criticism for its uniform and use of a red-and-white striped flag linked to the fascist Arrow Cross regime which sent tens of thousands of Jews to death camps.

Gábor Vona The Head Of The Opposition

There isn't much known about his background, or the Jobbik party. He seems to have aligned himself with the boogeyman, Iran.

Oddly, this 'Strike Force' said nothing when hundreds of Israeli special forces were flown in February 2007, and protesting Budapest citizens had Jewish bayonets at their throats at the Heroes Day rally.

"It's like dropping a stone in a pond," said Schneider, who is the head of 'Supreme council of Hungarian Jews'. 

"There is a strong ripple around 50 people that does move outwards and resonate with a wider group of people. That's always a dangerous situation."
