So much for loyalty.
After faithful nationalistic Jobbik member Csanad Szegedi, 30...learned that he had Jewish ancestry...he reluctantly resigned from the far-right party.
That wasn't enough.
Jobbik leadership also wants him to resign his well-paid seat in the European Parliament.
They insist that it's because a 2010 bribery allegation clouds his position.
However...Szegedi is no innocent.
For years he was openly, proudly anti-Semitic and popular because of it...and in 2009 appeared at his first EU Parliament session in a controversial...and now banned... nationalistic military uniform.
But Szegedi was exposed...as having a Jewish grandmother imprisoned at Auschwitz.
