I’ll buy it
So far, more than 6,000 have signed the open letter published on Sunday, according to which Ministerial Commissioner Szilárd Demeter, director general of the Petőfi Literary Museum, should immediately resign from all public functions and retire from public life.
Demeter wrote an article for Origo on Saturday about “György Soros’s gas chamber in Europe” and that Hungarians and Poles represent the new Jews today. The article provoked great outrage, and Hungarian and international Jewish organizations, as well as the Israeli embassy in Hungary, condemned Demeter’s words, which Rabbi Köves Slomo, who already had a cordial relationship with Fidesz, called a rude provocation and tasteless. Demeter tried to keep her article on Facebook for a while, eventually pulling out and deleting her Facebook page.
According to the open letter, Demeter “deliberately provokes, incites discomfort and hatred by abusing the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and the pain of the survivors, with its anti-European and anti-national text. He dislikes in the worst way a role of non-existent victim while he is the abuser, at the service of the shameful propaganda of the current government ”.
“It refers to the Hungarians from whom it did not receive authorization! With his confusing writing, he deeply insulted all his known compatriots in their human dignity. He was unsuitable and unworthy to direct and represent any area of Hungarian culture and public life ”.The petition was also supported by Mayor Gergely Karácsony. Among the signers we find several public figures, artists (among them Mátyás Erdély, director of photography for Saul’s son, Lajos Parti Nagy, György Spiró, Árpád Schilling, Péter Závada) and politicians, such as Benedek Jávor or Péter Ungár.
On Sunday, former Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai wrote in an open letter to Viktor Orbán that if Demeter becomes a government official on Monday, he suggests that what is written in his article reflects the government’s position.
On Sunday, writer Gábor Schein wrote journalism for 444 titled “Hungary: Beyond All Hope.” The Society of Beauticians also stood out: according to the Hungarian orange account, it was written that Demeter had come up with a life-threatening system of rhetorical tools, which was “unacceptable even if it was obvious and was meant to be caused by a compulsion desperate to comply “.
Like the petition, they urge an immediate change of general director at the head of the museum.
