CAN THE HARASSMENT OF ROMA IN GYONGYOSPATA BE A SIGN OF WEAKNESS OF THE HUNGARIAN GOVERNMENT?
"Nearly 2,500 persons marched in black military-like clothing on 6th March 2011 in Gyöngyöspata, after the rally supported by the Jobbik party, through the village’s Roma neighborhood, chanting slogans about the restoration of public safety. The police arrived on the scene on the day of the demonstration but did not interfere in any way, regardless of the “abuse caused to the rights of the local Roma residents, which could have been a ground for the authorities to break up the protest” - from the letter written by the members of Gyöngyöspata’s Roma community to the Hungarian Minister of Home Affairs.
Can the harassment of Roma in Gyongyospata be a sign of weakness of the Hungarian government?
Yes, because... The legitimate guardians of public safety have been watching on silently ...
“The police, the legitimate guardians of public safety, have been watching on silently as an aggressive organization bulldozes through the basic norms of any democratic state based on the rule of law and attacks members of the Roma minority arbitrarily instead of preventing this state of affairs from developing from the day it started.” - the statement of the Hungarian Democratic Charta.
Can the harassment of Roma in Gyongyospata be a sign of weakness of the Hungarian government?
No, because... It is not a weakness
It is not a weakness of the Hungarian ruling party (it is a ruling one, not a governing...), since it wants to deepen the breaks inside Hungarian society, divide the people for making a space for its austerity measures. The fascist Jobbik ("Better Hungary") party and its numerous guards and squads are only useful idiots in the hands of the government. The recent awful and shameful situation - when hundreds of Hungarian citizens are being frightened by these nazi-kind creatures - is just another victory for the Fidesz-government.

Gyöngyöspata - Orbán: Bigger problems were avoided because the police have done its work
Budapest, 22 March 2011. Tuesday (Hungarian Telegraph Office) – According to the Prime Minister, bigger problems were avoided in Gyöngyöspata only because the police appeared and have done its task “with sufficient deterrent force, by discipline and by the exercise of laws”.
“If we had not sent the police with big forces to the critical premises, ugly things could have happened there”- said Viktor Orbán at a press conference on Tuesday in Budapest in relation to the marching of the members of the For a Better Future” Civil Guard in Gyöngyöspata, three weeks long, since the beginning of March. They have been to Hajdú-Bihar county earlier and are planning to do something similar in Hajdúhadház.
The Prime Minister emphasized: if anyone steps over the possibilities left open by the Hungarian legal system, then the police will proceed with its full authority and force.
