Tamás Deutsch: Gyurcsány committed a political and historical sin on the 50th anniversary of the revolution

On the 50 th anniversary of the 1956 revolution, on October 23, 2006, a doubled sin was committed against the people in Budapest: Ferenc Gyurcsány committed both a political and historical sin – expressed Tamás Deutsch, Fidesz Member of the European Parliament, at the Brussels premier of ElkXrtuk, a Hungarian film portraying the events surrounding that day.

“Yet those in power in Brussels were silent in 2006 and have been silent ever since regarding Gyurcsány’s violent tactics which fundamentally violate the rule of law” he announced. “Brussels is not acting in defense of common European values nor in accordance with the provisions of the law, but rather solely in defense of the leftist brotherhood.”

“Every word on rule of law from Brussels is completely invalidated by the fact that they completely abandoned Hungary and pandered to Gyurcsány’s police terror on October 23, 2006,” he said. “The Hungarian left must never be allowed to come close to power again, otherwise they will take up arms against the nation once more.”
