Capital of antisemitism

Critics of Hungary's authoritarian government believe it is leading the country towards fascism and Budapest become the capital of antisemitism. European leaders have done almost nothing to reverse the EU's dangerous political trends. Antisemitism remains a central feature of neo-Nazi parties  even though their main focus in many Eu countries is on non-white minorities. The antisemitic rhetoric is often extreme as when a Jobbik parliamentarian last year called for a list to be drawn up of the country's Jews in order to asses whether they represented a security risk to Hungary.
