She considers the unique Hungarian system of minority self-governments to be a valuable contribution to efforts to enable cultural autonomy for many officially recognized minority groups in Hungary. However, at the local level, due to higher priority needs of Roma communities facing severe discrimination, exclusion and poverty, the system has largely been diverted from its intended function to preserve Roma culture, identity and language. The Roma have been the most affected by Hungary’s difficult transition period from socialism to a market-based economy. Economic decline and privatization of State industries caused a disproportionately high percentage of employed Roma to lose their jobs. Nationwide Roma unemployment rates continue to greatly exceed those of other minorities and the majority population, exacerbated by exclusion from labour markets due to widespread discrimination and anti-Roma prejudice. Statistics reveal a life expectancy for Roma of over 10 years less than that of the general population. Education of Roma is characterized by widespread segregation on racial grounds and poor educational opportunities, particularly for Roma girls. Thousands of Roma live without running water, electricity and other basic services.

Hungarian broadcaster
Ferenc Szaniszló
BornCsenger
NationalityHungarian
OccupationJournalist

Ferenc Szaniszló (born 7 October 1960) is a Hungarian right-wing media figure, and a former broadcaster for Echo TV, a conservative television service in Hungary. In 2013 Szaniszló received the Táncsics Journalism Award for his earlier work, including reports on the fall of the Soviet Union and the Yugoslav Wars, but returned it following criticism over anti-Semitic and anti-Roma remarks broadcast nationally on Echo TV.

Career

Szaniszló was born in Csenger in 1960, and grew up in Csegöld and Fehérgyarmat, both in east Hungary. He attended University in Moscow, and was subsequently stationed there as an employee of the Hungarian daily paper Magyar Hírlap.

Working for Budapest television, Szaniszló reported on the collapse of the Soviet Union, and on the conflict between Serb and Hungarian speaking populations in Yugoslavia. Later, Szaniszló covered the Kosovo war in Serbia, interviewing Albanian villagers and political leaders.

In Hungary, Szaniszló worked as an editor for Duna TV news between 2005-2007. Since 2008 he has worked for the television chain Echo TV, a "favorite forum among Hungarian neofascists" according to Le Monde. Following the Ajka alumina plant accident in October 2010, Szaniszló claimed that the incident was caused by the International Monetary Fund, and bombing by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Returned Táncsics award

On 14 March 2013 the Hungarian Human Resources Minister Zoltán Balog awarded Szaniszló the Táncsics award, Hungary's highest state award for journalism, named after Mihály Táncsics. A dozen former recipients of the Táncsics returned their awards in protest, due to Szaniszló's history of controversy including a 2011 incident which resulted in a government fine over, according to The Independent, "anti-Semitic outbursts and his detrimental remarks about the country’s ostracised Roma minority," including calling Roma "human monkeys" and suggesting he regarded Jews as garbage.

Szaniszló's receipt of the award was criticized by Hungarian and international media, by the Israeli ambassador Ilan Mor, and by U.S. ambassador Eleni Tsakopoulos Kounalakis. Conversely, Jobbik Party president Gábor Vona stated that Szaniszló had won a "moral victory" in an interview with Hungary's Szent Korona Rádió (Holy Crown Radio).

Balog responded with an open letter to Szaniszló stating:

I primarily intended to acknowledge the work you once did as a foreign affairs correspondent reporting from the former Soviet area and the war in the Balkans ... Only after I made the decision about the award was I informed about your assertions in the past few years, which I cannot identify with as they go against the values that I and the government represent.

Szaniszló later agreed to return the award. He denied the charge of racism and stated that he was "a victim of machinations by Israel and the United States", adding, "I exposed the truth about September 11, about the Kennedy murder, about Diana’s murder, and that pains them."
