NEW HUNGARIAN RADICAL PARTY IN FAVOUR OF DEATH PENALTY

01 August 2018 :

Hungary’s new radical party, Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland), said it was in favour of restoring capital punishment and introducing imprisonment abroad to ease overcrowding, the leader of the party said. Mi Hazánk recently split from the Jobbik party, a formerly radical nationalist party that has moved towards the centre. According to the latest Nézőpont poll, its support is no higher than 1 percent of the electorate.
Its leader, László Toroczkai, told a press conference that crimes against vulnerable members of society such as children and the elderly should be treated as capital offenses, he said, insisting that “science” had proven “the deterrent effect” of the death penalty.
