Some odds and ends

The Hungarian Democratic Forum, responsible for the disastrous transfer of power from communism to democracy and for the corruption ridden privatization of the national assets has chosen Lajos Bokros, and Gyorgy Habsburg as its candidates for the next European Election. Lajos Bokros was the architect of the most brutal austerity measures the government introduced during the Horn administration.

The party, a shadow of its former self, today consists of a bunch of opportunists led by Ibolya David (picture), the minister of justice in the former Orban government.

The police arrested a former gypsy police officer for the murder of two members of a family. In the last year, the police officer threw a hand grenade in a house where two members of a gypsy family died in the attack. The motive was revenge.

Then, the government sponsored media suggested (without any evidence) that the attack might have been a racist outbreak of hatred by belligerent elements of the patriotic movement. Once again, the mainstream media showed how low they can sink when it comes to “objective” reporting.

In the last year, in the small town of Kiskunlachaza, a 14 year old student, Nóri Horák, was raped and brutally murdered by unknown assailants as she was walking home from a party. Then, the police was optimistic about the prospects of catching the culprits quickly. But recently, authorities admitted that they didn't have hot leads and as a result, they offered 11 million forint for information leading to the arrest of the criminals.

Local sources are suggesting that the murder might have been committed by gypsy criminals and the police knows their identities but covers up the information for fear of an anti-gypsy backlash in the majority of the population.

The totally discredited Hungarian police chief, Jozsef Bencze, the right hand man of the mentally unstable Hungarian Prime Minister, Ferenc Gyurcsany, admitted to the stop.hu news portal that indeed the gypsy crime families of Enying exist. Members of these families and some associated gangsters murdered Marian Cozma. Previously, the police denied their existence.

The police chief also admitted that in the ominous night when Marian Cozma was murdered by a gang of gypsies, four off-duty police officers were in the disco but none of them interfered or called the police.

Today, the police laid charges against a 22 year old gypsy for murder. In the last year, in the small town of Gadna, in Borsod county, the accused broke into the home of a 88 year old woman and brutally raped her; then, he stabbed her several times, gouged her eyes out and chopped her body up with an ax.
