Gábor Simon, chairman of the committee of the Hungarian Socialist Party said Viktor Orbán in his speech at Tusnádfürdő, Transylvania used the coded language of anti-Semitism. The document earlier prescribed a strategy to reduce Orbán’s capacity of mobilization by employing a campaign of raising suspicions. The use of the old anti-Semitic card has been harshly criticized by János Fónagy, minister of the Orbán government who deplored this campaign as a Jewish person as well, refusing the ’base argumentation’ of the Socialist MP. János Fónagy MP (Fidesz) claims this dirty trick is inexplicable because it was the Orbán government which codified the Holocaust Memorial Day. In a public television programme Viktor Orbán made it clear no one could be a democrat who harboured anti-Semitic views. The left-wing daily Népszava quotes a report of the secret police from 1987 which allegedly referred to Orbán’s anti-Semitism though Miklós Tamás Gáspár, liberal philosopher also in Népszava found this reference entirely false. Orbán’s sentence about ’genetically determined’ left-wingers who always attacked the nation has been hinted at by József Sas, director of Mikroszkóp Theatre who is charged with tax evasion and fraud. József Sas attended the drama school of Kálmán Rózsahegyi under the name of József Pollatschek but he had no certificate of baccalaureate and he could not produce a valid character reference though both should have been necessary for his appointment as a director.
