BBC/ N. Thorpe 

BBC: "Far-right activists have built up support in Hungary and are now taking the law into their own hands - prompting accusations that they are stirring racial hatred.

Tiszavasvari is the "capital" of the radical right-wing Jobbik party - on the faultline of ethnic tensions between the Roma minority and the non-Roma majority.

It has a Jobbik mayor who talks of "gypsy crime" and has set up a uniformed vigilante group in response, putting the party on collision course with both civil-rights groups and the conservative Fidesz government."

AP/GOOGLE NEWS/         The Roma/Gypsies fear that big gains made by the extreme-right Jobbik party in  recent national elections will only increase the nation's growing climate of hatred. The Jobbik is now the third strongest party in parliament. They are also wary because Fidesz, the winning center-right party, has a "law and order" pledge to keep a closer eye on on Hungary's estimated 500,000-800,000 Roma.

HUNGARY: Ultra-National Jobbik Party Gaining Strength With "Bitter" Voters.

BLOOMBERG/   Hungary’s Jobbik party, which wants to get rid of free-market reforms and use armed guards to police the Roma, aka gypsy minority, has the largest support since the country abandoned communism, a projected 17% of the vote in the 11 April election. The 5-year-old party has tapped into a "bitter" voter bloc, angry with recent government cuts and resentful of the Roma. The downside is that "a strong showing by an extremist party could negatively impact tourism, the investment environment and even affect risks credit-rating agencies see in Hungary,”says analyst Gergely Boszormenyi Nagy.
