László Toroczkai

László Toroczkai

László Toroczkai (born March 10, 1978 in Szeged ) is a Hungarian politician who belongs to the ultra-right spectrum. In 2001 he was the founder and until 2013 one of the leaders of the Sixty- Four Counties Youth Movement (Hungarian Hatvannégy Vármegye Ifjúsági Mozgalom , HVIM). In 2013 he was elected mayor of Ásotthalom .

Life

In 1998 he ran as a member of the nationalist party MIÉP for the Hungarian parliament. A year later he worked as a reporter for the Hungarian state television in the Serbian provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina , where he described the NATO bombing on Serbia. László Toroczkai founded the HVIM ( Hatvannégy Vármegye Ifjúsági Mozgalom , German 64 counties ) in 2001 , which is based on the "Greater Hungary" from the time before the Treaty of Trianon of 1920. In 2005 he published a book: Vármegyés a véres úton. In 2006, he relinquished the presidency of 64 counties after civil unrest broke out and he was responsible for the attack on state television. While Toroczkai remained honorary president of the 64 counties, he founded a new organization Hunnia together with György Budaházy . The declared goal is to create a "new Hungary" within the borders of before the Treaty of Trianon 1920 . Since 2010 he has been the local government representative in Csongrád County . In the 2010 and 2014 elections, he headed the Jobbik Party's county list (Jobbik Magyarországért Mozgalom; German Movement for a Better Hungary ), but he is not a member of the party. In the mayoral election on December 15, 2013 in Ásotthalom , Toroczkai prevailed with 71.5% of the votes cast.

In early 2015, Toroczkai called for a fence to be built on the border with Serbia to ward off alleged immigration pressure on Hungary. The Orbán government took up this proposal in June of the same year.

Entry bans

His work brought him trouble with foreign countries, for which he was banned from entering the country for months or years. In May 2008 he was arrested and deported as an agitator in Serbia and was not allowed to enter there for two years. In addition, he was banned from entering Romania for three months in 2005 and five years in Slovakia in September 2006 .
