For the folks who are interested, as a Hungarian I can give you a small report based on first hand experience.
The current Fidesz government is simply a Mafia. They are the sons and grandsons of the communists who killed hundreds of thousands of Hungarians. Sándor Pintér[1], Minister of the Interior of Hungary is the biggest godfather in the country currently. They kill rivals, or send them into prison.
Hungarians have the fewest rights in this country. They intentionally positively discriminate the Roma population to spark a civil war. Divide and conquer.
There is also an ongoing international propaganda about how "antisemitic" are we. Nothing is further than the truth, there are 0 jewish people beaten per year. But this will be a good excuse to further decrease our liberty.
A bill is going to pass (in a couple of weeks) which will allow foreigners to buy unlimited amounts of land without any control exposed on the process. This will result in the poor Hungarians losing land to wealthy people. If the bill passes (it will), Hungary will cease to exists in decades.
The Jobbik and a couple of true politicans fight against these issues, they want to preserve the Hungarian nation.
That's why you see a propaganda about them, framing them as evil, fascist, hateful people. Because the Jobbik and the defense of the homeland interferes with the bussiness of the Mafia government.

A Hungarian
Edit: a little bonus, worthless anecdote, probably I am crazy and fascist because I find it disturbing:
The Fidesz announced that to prevent minors from smoking they will move the selling of tobacco products to certain specialized shops.
Poor dumb masses were like "ohh, not a stupid idea, young people smoking is bad hmmkay". Then, came the news, that the government decides who can run these shops. Of course all the winners were Fidesz friends (parts of the Mafia).
Then first they raised the price of tobacco products, to provide bigger margins to these shops because "this is their only source of income".
Then they allowed to sell other products, like chips, ice cream, whatever, they allowed such a wide range these products combined make up 40% of shop sales.
So basically, with this move, the Fidesz took the right to run shops from the common people and gave it to the Mafia members.
Well played!
This is how the Hungarian middle class is being erased.
And this is just a recent story! There is more to come I am sure.
- davnola 13y agoLast month Jobbik rallied against the World Jewish Congress in Budapest, protesting "against what it said was a Jewish attempt to buy up Hungary". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22413301 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22413301 They frame themselves as fascist and anti-semite.
- friendly_chap 13y agoNo they don't frame themselves as that! Simon Peres said they are buying up Manhattan, Hungary etc...[1] Now Jobbik is not against the Jews. They are against the fact that they (admitted by them) buying up our country! If Barack Obama would say the same they would protest against the USA. Would that make them or me an antiUSAic? No! Wether they are Jews, aliens, englishmen or bushmans or whatever, we don't like other people buying up our country! That's all. It's not a race issue.

- eli_gottlieb 13y agoHi, I'm an Israeli Jew. The entire latter half of your "evidence" video is completely mistranslated. I would have to say deliberately. Shimon Peres is talking about how amazing it is that Israel has achieved developed-country status. Pashut ein lanu maspik shuk mekomi gadol. That doesn't mean anything about our talents or dynamism. It literally reads: "We simply don't have enough of a large local market." He's talking about Israeli exports. The sentence "Anachnu konim et Manhattan, et ...." (literally: We are buying Manhattan, ....) does occur early in the video, but without a whole lot of additional context it's meaningless. He's using a simple, conversational mode of Hebrew there, in which it could mean "We're conspiring to purchase all the buildings in these countries with our Joo Moniez", but it much more likely means, "Israelis can now buy apartments in these locations." So basically, your far-right is playing the Jooz Card to pacify your proper rage against the consequences of neoliberal economic policies in Hungary. I'm descended from a once-somewhat-prominent Hungarian Jewish family, but if you actually believe this kind of crap, the chance I'm visiting Budapest where my great-grandparents lived any time soon is basically null.
