Cultural Capture
Long defended the controversial Turul monument where names of victims and perpetrators of wartime atrocities were mixed. It emerged his own grandfather, previously listed as a victim, had been an Arrow Cross member implicated in murders. For years resisted calls to rethink the monument's concept, contributing to the whitewashing of local fascist perpetrators before partially acknowledging the problem under heavy pressure. Represents a broader pattern of selective memory politics in Fidesz-controlled municipalities.
