According to the Facebook group 'Converge on Codnor' this years guests of the BNP are likely to include representatives of Jobbik, 'a violently racist Hungarian Nazi party that organises pogroms against Roma people.'

Apart from their use of the term 'gipsy crime' to refer to criminal acts committed by members of the Romani community (which is usually seen to be caused by prevalence of poor economic status among that group) the movement has, according to Wiki, also been accused of playing on antisemitic fears.

Krisztina Morvai, one of the party's successful candidates in the 2009 elections to the European parliament, has written in a message to Hungarian Jews posted on an online forum "I would be glad if the so-called proud Hungarian Jews would go back to playing with their tiny circumcised dicks rather than vilifying me."

Morvai did not deny that she wrote the message, but declined to comment further.

The paramilitary Hungarian Guard (full name Hungarian Guard Association for Protection of Traditions and Culture) are backed by and developed out of Jobbik
Their uniform is composed of black boots, black trousers with white shirt and black vest with the shape of a lion on its back and a coat of arms on the front.
