Jobbik supports autonomy, voting rights for ethnic Hungarians

Hungary's radical nationalist Jobbik party, should it win power in next year's election, would continue to support the endeavours of ethnic Hungarian communities for autonomy, Jobbik leader Gabor Vona told reporters on the sidelines of a session of the Hungarian Permanent Conference (Maert) in Budapest on Friday. Vona, who addressed the session previously, said his party "firmly opposed" a recent Democratic Coalition proposal that Hungarians living in other countries should be stripped of their voting rights in Hungary.
