Orbán spoke in response to Socialist MP Pál Steiner, who described the National-Hearted Motorcyclists, the organisers of the parade entitled “Give Gas”, as an “openly anti-Semitic organisation” that was preparing a crude provocation to tarnish the memory of the more than 400,000 Hungarian Jews who were murdered, and the further six million victims who were gassed to death or killed in other ways in concentration camps.

The March of the Living Foundation will hold a commemoration in tribute to the victims of the Holocaust on April 21.

Imre Mészáros, president of the Goy Motorcyclists Association, condemned the planned motorcade.

Answering a question from Jobbik MP Ádám Mirkóczki about making public the citizenship of cabinet members, Orbán said “I see no obstacle to seeing such data of public interest made accessible to the public.”

Orbán then asked Jobbik not to insult the rights of the Jewish minority, saying the cabinet will not tolerate that.
