Hungary: Homophobic extreme-right group comes second in elections

[Behind the Aegis]

A Hungarian radical, homophobic party has met its target of coming second in the European elections.

The Jobbik party polled second in Hungary, winning three seats in the European Parliament.

Back in 2012 Jobbik proposed a bill to ban the “promotion of sexual deviations”, threatening those found guilty of prison sentences of up to eight years.

The party stood by its third MEP, Bela Kovacs, who is accused of being a Russian spy.
