Opposition MPs call on Fidesz's Pocs to quit

April 2nd, 2019

Ten opposition women lawmakers have turned to the parliamentary speaker calling for the resignation of Fidesz MP Janos Pocs, after a video emerged of him "humiliating" one of his employees. In the footage which surfaced last month, Pocs can be seen locking a Roma employee of his into a furnace and threatening to set him on fire. Addressing a press conference on Tuesday with fellow Democratic Coalition, LMP, Socialist, Parbeszed and independent lawmakers, nationalist Jobbik's Andrea Varga-Damm said it was "unacceptable in today's Hungarian democracy to stigmatise and humiliate a community in this way". She said that if Pocs were a member of Jobbik, the chief public prosecutor would have already ordered an investigation into the incident. Timea Szabo of Parbeszed said Pocs's actions were so "outrageous" that the politician should disappear from Hungarian public life altogether. She called on ruling Fidesz to publicly condemn Pocs's actions and call for his resignation.
