Neo-nazis gain support in Hungary

The Herald reports:

Sweeping gains by Hungary's neo-Nazi Jobbik party provoked concern across Europe yesterday after the anti-Semitic organisation won one in five votes in a general election which returned the maverick right-wing , Viktor Orban, to power.

Results showed that far-right Jobbik, which wants detention camps for Roma deviants and has argued that Jews are a risk, had upped its share of support by five per cent and had secured 20.86 per cent of the vote in Sunday's election.

This is very disturbing.  Jobbik is a vile racist party that fosters hatred. While it is only Hungary, the rise of antisemitism again in European politics is disturbing.
