The Hungarian government has missed to express their condolences for the death of Elie Wiesel, writer and Holocaust survivor passed away on 2 July 2016 in New York. In 1944, when he was 15, Wiesel was deported from his town in Transylvania to Auschwitz and then do Buchenwald.

On many occasions over the last few years, issues surrounding the placement, displacement or removal of statues and monuments in public places have found themselves on Hungary’s political agenda:

Tyson Fury, world heavyweight champion from Britain, was filmed making antisemitic comments in a video posted online earlier this month. In his latest rant, an hour-long clip, he said: “Zionist, Jewish people ... own all the banks, all the papers, all the TV stations”.

Bradford MP Naz Shah has been suspended from the Labour Party for over a comment she made about Israel in 2014. Among the antisemitic posts that Shah shared on Facebook, one suggested that Israel should be relocated in the United States. Naz Shah profoundly apologised for the posts, which were made before she became an MP.
