Hello everybody,

I didn't inform the initiative, but we had a very hard summer because one young roma cousin of my husband had be killed by the police in a roma district in Romania. police attacked them in their own house and we have still familiar in jail because when brother and father saw the young guy shot by the police in front of the house they retort to the police and make damage also to one police man with a peace of wood! Press and media changed all situation as their were gipsies fighting and police came to make order, and been attacked by gipsies but it's false, nothing was happening in the district when police arrived. Even the young guy was already shot police still kicked him on the floor and the police chief told that all roma would merit the same!!!

Romanian Police attack roma and romanian people are happy with it!!!

lot of romanian citizens right in the media and the web that police should kill all gipsies who are a inferior race, they are ready also to sustain this actions and think that EU will be ok for this. it's terrible; I'm afraid for my familiar, and specially for my son because he often go to the grand family who live in a big gipsy district where they could come and shot or give fire to the houses... We have to react before they kill all roma in Romania and other countries!!! I don't know if we have so much time to react.

Such book make propaganda for racism and indirectly call  to the hatred and the violence, thanks for this contest letter.

Alexandra

It is just horrible and it becomes worse from day to day!

What can we do?

Comment by Stoimen on January 9, 2013 at 14:34

Pusztaranger hat einen Teil des Artikels von Zsolt Bayer dankenswerterweise ins Deutsche übertragen:

(…) Der Großteil der Zigeuner ist zum Zusammenleben nicht geeignet. Nicht geeignet, unter Menschen zu leben. Diese Zigeuner sind Tiere, und benehmen sich wie Tiere. Sie wollen sich sofort mit jedem paaren/ficken, den sie erblicken. Wenn sie auf Widerstand stoßen, morden sie. Sie entleeren sich/scheißen, wo und wann es sie überkommt. Wenn sie sich darin eingeschränkt fühlen, morden sie. Was sie sehen, wollen sie haben. Wenn sie es nicht sofort bekommen, nehmen sie es sich und morden. Diese Zigeuner sind jeglicher menschlich zu nennender Kommunikation unfähig. Aus ihren Tierschädeln brechen höchstens unartikulierte Laute hervor, und das Einzige, was sie von dieser elenden Welt verstehen, ist Gewalt.

(…) Schaut euch die Ratte, die Gergő Sávoly niedergestochen hat, und seine Kumpanen auf Facebook an. Man sieht es ihnen an, dass sie alle drei potenzielle Mörder sind. Eo ipso Mörder. Man muss sie nicht tolerieren und verstehen, man muss Vergeltung an ihnen üben. Und hier begeht der idiotische politisch korrekte Teil der westlichen Welt seine größte Sünde: Aus reinem Kalkül und Eigeninteresse tut er so, als müsse man diese Tiere unbedingt tolerieren, sogar respektieren, als stünde ihnen so etwas wie Wertschätzung und Menschenwürde zu. (…) Sie sollen nicht existieren, die Tiere. Nirgendwo. Das muss man lösen – aber sofort und mit allen Mitteln! (…)

(Zsolt Bayer, in: Magyar Hirlap, 5.1.2013)

Eine Petition für den Parteiausschluss von Zsolt Bayer gibt es bereits hier. Darin heißt es:

„Fidesz-Gründungsmitglied Zsolt Bayer hat in seinem Artikel klar gemacht, dass er den Roma gegenüber Mordlust hegt – wie er sich ausdrückt, dem ‚Großteil der Zigeuner‘ gegenüber – und Hass gegen sie schürt. Fidesz und seine Regierung haben mehrfach betont, dass sie den Rassenhass in jeder Form verurteilen. Wir fordern, dass Fidesz als direkte Konsequenz Zsolt Bayer unverzüglich verurteilt und ihn aus der Partei ausschließt.“
