"[...] The daily Magyar Nemzet, close to the government, is the voice of a witch hunt against the great Hungarian philosopher Agnes Heller, a leading figure of dissent, and four of his fellow cons [...] "Why do they attack me, me? Because I talked about the danger of the new media law, the push from democratic institutions and dictatorial tendencies of Viktor Orbán, "said Agnes Heller, a professor emeritus at the New School University in New York and the University of Budapest. Most of these intellectuals appointed to public scrutiny is of Jewish origin, and the campaign plays on the old cliches of anti-Semitism. Magyar Nemzet can talk about "tribal hatred in these people's minds" and "band to Heller, who has" pocketed a half billion pounds to translate from Hungarian to the Hungarian " (In fact, a new translation of Plato). Coded references to alleged Jewish greed perfectly clear to the reader Hungarian.
"This anti-intellectualism and the latent anti-Semitism," growls Gabor Gulyas, conservative philosopher and director of the Museum of Modern Art in the city of Debrecen (eastern). For the first time a human right, to be close Fidesz, reacts. [...]
The campaign against these philosophers' evokes the darkest period of communism and recalls the lawsuits launched by Stalin against the conspiracy of Jewish doctors, "said the weekly Hetek. Agnes Heller, who filed a complaint for libel, these attacks have an air of deja vu: "In 1973, power had launched a similar campaign against me: they said that I was no longer worthy of research. My husband was arrested and we were charged with currency smuggling. Today, as I am accused of economic crimes, without any basis [...] dragging our name through the mud, "says one who was the chief disciple of Georg Lukacs.
In an appeal to European parliamentarians, members of the Commission and to all governments of Twenty-Seven, former opponents of communism as Václav Havel, Petr Uhl, Arpad Goncz, Miklos Haraszti, György Konrad, Adam Michnik, many of whom spent years in prison, are sounding the alarm (see the site Iprotest.hu): "What the Union EU wanted to prevent, and what many thought impossible, is flesh: an illiberal democracy is being born inside the borders of Europe. [...] If fundamental rights are violated in a country, it demeans all Europeans. "
