“Everybody can doubt, and they are free to doubt, and I don't want to convince anyone.” Quote by Csanad Szegedi
“When I was a student at university, I went to live in Budapest. I grew up in the countryside. In those days, I had a conservative right-wing way of thinking. At university, I met the other young people with whom I made this party, Jobbik. These friends grew to include more people, and as more people with these extreme-right views joined us, Jobbik became more and more extreme right. I was young, in my 20s, and we could continuously identify with these ideas.” PeopleThinkingWayMadeIdeasYoungViewsPartyStudentsGrewMetsGrew UpWingsUniversityConservativeExtremesWay Of ThinkingRight WingCountrysideBudapest Author:Csanad Szegedi

“Before the change of regime in 1989, you couldn't talk about anti-Semitism, and after the regime change, people started to talk about taboo subjects.
