US lawmakers call on Hungary’s Orban to condemn antisemitism

Fifty members of the U.S. Congress called on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to stand up against the antisemitic and homophobic remarks and the positions of far-right political party Jobbik.

 

“We’re deeply concerned by antisemitic and homophobic positions espoused by members of the Jobbik party,” the lawmakers said in a letter addressed to Orban and posted on the website of the U.S. House of Representatives.
