'In 1989 Gypsy leaders of the time agreed that several people needed to be selected from among the Roma in order to work for the advancement of our people
The most promising was Viktor Orbán, in whom Roma leaders of the time saw the guardian of the ascension of the Gypsy community.
We supported Fidesz [Orban's party] with our votes at elections. [But] our situation slowly became one of despair.
Viktor Orbán, who is no longer proud that his origins place him among us, has not only spit in the face of the Gypsy community, but also in that of several million Hungarians who have been forced into poverty.'
