Enikő Győri, an MEP of Hungary’s ruling Fidesz, criticised what she called the use of double standards by the European Parliament when it comes to political extremism, in an EP debate on right-wing extremism and racism on Wednesday.
In her address to the legislative body’s plenary session, Győri said it was “rather interesting” that the EP “is only sensitive to offences committed by the far right”. She added that she did not remember there being a parliamentary debate or any “outrage” in 2006 when under Hungary’s Socialist-liberal government police “violently cracked down” on peaceful protesters marking the anniversary of Hungary’s 1956 revolution.
Győri said the “forces behind the police terror” today were “falsely posing as the most European party”
and enjoyed the support of the EP. She said the German media had stayed silent on reports of sexual assaults on women in Cologne by gangs of migrants on New Year’s Eve in 2016. Meanwhile, in Madrid and Basque Country “far-left protesters threw rocks at politicians attending the right-wing Vox party’s rally”, while the cities of Milan and Turin saw riots by anarchists, but “none of this was put on the agenda in the EP”, she said.
“Enough of the double standards and the idea that the left is always in the centre while the right only has extremes,”
Győri said.

Fidesz slammed the EU for not condemning the 2006 police terror in Hungary.
It was brutal.
Enikő Győri is 100% right.
EP supports terrorists and rapists as long as they serve their far-left, globalist agenda.
Police terror in 2006? Fidesz gang has got no shame, really.
It’s even worse in the US- 9 months of riots deaths and billions of dollars – attacks on hundreds of police and attack on the White House sent trump to bunker. A 3 hour riot at the capital has been covered up but exploited by the left with many put in solitary confinement for 6 months without charge. These were just average conservatives
The Left say it worst than 911. Compare this with the most powerful government officials in world including Obama whitehouse did everything to set up the elected president and destroy the president. That continued for almost 5 years with 2 phony impeachment’s pushed by 90% of the MSM along with the CIA, FBI, DOJ
As of last month only 1 has been charged -A lawyer for Clinton and the DNC.
What would a paid foreign Soros troll know about October 2006?
Hmm, Mario, I know you have left views. If you studied the riots of 06 then you wouldn’t make such an idiotic comment. That’s why no one takes you seriously. Your comments, like this one, erase any meaningful criticism against the Hungarian government.
