Hungary’s Turn to the East: Jobbik and Islam

Norbert Pap and Viktor Glied

Europe-Asia Studies, 2018, vol. 70, issue 7, 1036-1054

Abstract: Jobbik, the Movement for a Better Hungary, is a new generation, radical right-wing political party. In many ways it is similar to other far-right groups in Europe, although it has several unique characteristics. It is a strange anomaly that the party, alone among radical parties in Europe, has pursued a Muslim-friendly policy. Is it an adequate explanation that this anti-Semitic and anti-Israel party considers Muslims its natural allies? Is this relationship solely based on anti-Semitism, or are there deeper explanations?
