An unapologetically xenophobic video posted on János Lázár’s Facebook page has caused a media uproar in Austria and Germany. Subsequently removed by Facebook, the video features the Minister Overseeing the Office of the Prime Minister standing in the Favoriten part of Vienna, spouting xenophobic vitriol.
The National Office of the Judiciary (OBH), led by Tünde Handó, responded by publishing a copy-cat video under the title “[Failing to see the] Trees from the Forest – Truth about the Justice System.” The OBH video appears to make light of what the anonymous judge said and the manner in which he said it.

BUDAPEST — Just weeks before Hungary’s parliamentary election, a court is expected to rule on a case that has come to symbolize Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s anti-migrant agenda for both his supporters and opponents. The court in the southern city of Szeged is due to give its verdict in the retrial of a Syrian man convicted of terrorism and jailed for 10 years for his role in a confrontation between police and asylum seekers on the border with Serbia in 2015.
BUDAPEST — Facebook has removed a controversial Hungarian government video which claimed that “white Christians” are gone from parts of Vienna and the same could happen in Hungary. János Lázár, whose title is minister of the prime minister’s office, posted the video on his official Facebook page late Tuesday, weeks ahead of the country’s April 8 election.
In the wake of the governing Fidesz-KDNP’s humiliating defeat in a recent mayoral by-election, the government of Hungary has turned its sights from American financier George Soros to the United Nations. The latest round of “government information” billboards blanketing the country claims “The UN wants us to continually accept migrants,” “take down fences blocking the way of migrants,” and “pay the cost of their settlement and employment.”
Griechenland und Ungarn weigern sich, gemäß den EU-Regeln Flüchtlinge von Deutschland zurückzunehmen – trotz der Übernahmeersuchen, die die Bundesregierung stellte. Deutschland hingegen nimmt Flüchtlinge von anderen EU-Staaten auf.
