Mazsihisz: Anti-Semites Do Not Deserve a State Award

In response to the state honors awarded to Mihály Takaró and Kornél Döbrentei on March 15—a Hungarian national holiday—the Federation of Jewish Communities in Hungary (Mazsihisz) issued the following statement: 

Mazsihisz firmly protests the decision to once again grant high state honors to Mihály Takaró, a writer and literary historian, and Kornél Döbrentei, a writer, poet, and publicist.

This decision blatantly contradicts the Orbán government’s declared policy of zero tolerance for anti-Semitism. 

We find no justification for why these two individuals—whose anti-Semitic views are well known—were deemed worthy of such recognition in 2025. Their work does not merit this honor. They do not deserve it. 

Nor does Hungarian culture deserve such an affront.
