Hungarian journalist with government ties among customers of Swedish neo-Nazi webshop

A Hungarian journalist was among the 20 Hungarian customers who ordered from a Swedish neo-Nazi website, Midgård, whose customer list was leaked last year. The journalist claims he was merely looking for exotic CDs at a fair price.

Hungarian journalist orders from Swedish neo-Nazi website

According to Telex, a pro-government Hungarian journalist has been linked to purchases from the Swedish webshop Midgård, which sells neo-Nazi memorabilia and propaganda items. As reported by Átlátszó, this connection has drawn the attention of The Constitution Protection Office (AH), particularly after violent clashes between Nazi and Antifa groups in Budapest last year. The journalist has previously interviewed Zsolt Tyirityán, the leader of the nationalist group Betyársereg, and has written extensively about migration issues in Sweden.

The Hungarian journalist, who ordered an album by the German far-right band Faustrecht, has chosen to remain anonymous but defended his actions in a statement to Átlátszó. He argued that many people on the customer list are not extremists but music dealers seeking to expand their collections with national rock discs from Scandinavia because of their low prices. He claimed that buyers often did not understand the lyrics and purchased the music purely for its exotic appeal. He added:

I think what people listen to at home is a matter of personal taste. Just as it is not polite to peer into each other’s bedrooms, we shouldn’t look into each other’s living rooms or CD players.
