Jewish Groups Protest Iran Ex-leader's Hungary Visit

The Association of Hungarian Jewish Congregations, Mazsihisz, also criticised the invitation to Ahmadinejad. The association said in a statement it was incomprehensible that the management of the National University of Public Service "allowed Ahmadinejad, who is anti-Semitic to the core, to hold a lecture at one of Hungary's elite universities." "It is not only outrageous but also painful that the former Iranian president is in Budapest on the very days when the Hungarian Jewish community remembers the victims of [the Holocaust] 80 years ago in this country and Auschwitz."
