“Cheating is in their blood,” he said. Kövér said the ruling Fidesz’s campaign highlighting the threat of a “left-wing mafia” is based on reality, considering that Ferenc Gyurcsány was involved in the wave of police violence in 2006, and was prime minister at the time of Roma killings, when defenceless people were murdered purely because of their ethnicity.

Commenting on a planned memorial to the victims of Hungary’s Nazi German occupation, Kövér shared Orbán’s view that the decision to erect a statue needed no justification.

He noted that the government had clearly declared its intent to properly pay tribute to the hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews killed during the Holocaust.

“It was a crime that cannot be erased from Hungary’s history and the Hungarian state also had responsibility for it,” he said.
