István Csurka’s Political Essay

István Csurka, then vice-president of the ruling MDF, published a political pamphlet on 20 August 1992 that ignited national controversy. The essay accused “Jewish intellectual circles” of exerting hidden influence during the Kádár era and resisting MDF’s rise, echoing classic antisemitic conspiracy theories. The backlash led to Csurka’s removal from MDF leadership and his later founding of the far-right MIÉP.
