Jewish leaders from around the world called on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to do more to stem rising anti-Semitism in the country as the premier urged “zero tolerance” for nationalist hatred.
About 500 delegates representing 100 countries at the World Jewish Congress started three days of meetings yesterday in Budapest, the capital of a country that’s home to central Europe’s largest Jewish population. Anti-Semitism, including the rise of the radical Jobbik party, is “dragging the good name of Hungary through the mud,” WJC President Ronald S. Lauder told the audience that included Orban.
