The European Court of Human Rights has ruled against Hungary in six cases in which the country’s rules or procedures were seen as violating the European Convention on Human Rights. Three of the six were initiated by members of the Hungarian Workers’ Party, whom the Hungarian courts had ruled against for wearing communist symbols, which was then seen in Strasbourg as a violation of the freedom of expression. In two other cases filed by former state employees who had been obliged to pay a 98% super-tax on their severance payments, the European court said Hungary had violated the protection of private property. In the last case, the Strasbourg court ruled in favour of a former psychiatric patient who had been kept in a mental asylum against his own will.

Yes. Agreed. Those communists should not be forbidden wearing their odious symbols. They should rather be obliged to wear them at all times visibly. That would be the fair punishment for their unspeakable crimes for which they never had to pay (and Strassbourg couldn’t care less, of which they should be ashamed eternally).
I am absolutely amazed at the stupidity of the western liberal press. They just eat up whatever the socialist international mafia throws onto their slop plates. Like chickens at the trough. Get a real job you dumb journalists and see what real Hungarians are thinking. This nation is finally moving forward after years of socialist thieves running this nation.
The European Parliament can go frack itself. Useless body of over-payed morons doing nothing. Thank god we are still largely free of its grip. The EU is not the shining light it was supposed to be, rather it is a beaucoratic nightmare allowing the lowlife socialists to have a podium from which they can spew their vile rhetoric. We see what you are and we will never let you back in. Get used to it.
