Process against Hungarian Communist started

In the Szekesfehervar City Court (Hungary, 68 km from Budapest) the process against the whole leadership of the Hungarian Communist Workers’ Party started 21 September, Friday. The Court led by judge Mrs. Ilona Sarkozi gathered to discuss the cause of Gyula Thürmer, President of the HCWP, Magda Karacs and Janos Vajda, vice-presidents of the HCWP, Peter Szekely, Laszlo Kerezsi, Sandor Urban, members of the presidium of HCWP and Pal Kollat, former member of the presidium of HCWP.

The public prosecutor read the official indictment. According to the indictment the members of the leadership of the HCWP are accused “in libel made in public place” because they characterised a decision of the Budapest Court in 2005 as a political sentence.

The members of the leadership of the HCWP were questioned by the judge. The Hungarian communist leaders declared that it is their right guaranteed by the Hungarian Constitution to express their opinion freely. They used this right when they characterised the decision of the Budapest City Court as a political one. They asked the Court to finish the legal process and to clear them of the charge because no crime was committed.

The judge decided to postpone the session of the Court on the 6 November 2007.

In front of the City Court hundreds of communists and inhabitants of Szekesfehervar had a meeting of protest and solidarity. The Hungarian media paid great attention to the event.

We have fulfilled the mission the party has sent us to the court. – Gyula Thürmer declared on the press-conference after the process. We defended our rights and unveiled that the ruling capitalist forces try to destroy the communist party before the new referendum and parliamentary elections which can take place in the near future. He declared that it rather embarrassing that the second session will take place 6 November, just on the eve of the great day of the Hungarian and the international communist movement, the 90th Anniversary of the October Revolution.
