Hungarian far-right party holds anti-Semitic rally

None

A rally by Hungary's far-right Jobbik party has been held despite government efforts to ban it because of its anti-Semitic nature.

 

About 1,000 supporters of Jobbik, the third largest party in parliament, attended Saturday's rally, where speakers complained about a meeting of the World Jewish Congress starting Sunday in Budapest and prayed for the end of Zionism. A police ban of the rally was struck down by a Budapest court. Despite the ruling, Prime Minister Viktor Orban ordered the interior minister to use "all legal means" to block the rally. (AP)
