Fidesz Rejects Jobbik Proposal To Classify Criminals According To Race In Hungary
The Fidesz caucus yesterday rejected a Jobbik proposal to keep racial records of criminals, calling it unacceptable. The far-right party suggested classifying criminals into six races, based on colour.

Jobbik MP Ádám Mirkóczki is withdrawing his bill on the racist classification and registry of criminals, because he will file a more elaborated one, Jobbik MP László Zakó announced on Thursday.
