History and profile

Magyar Demokrata was launched in 1997.[1] It is published by artamondo kft on a weekly basis and has its headquarters in Budapest.[1] [2] The magazine has a right wing conservative political leaning and is run by András Bencsik who is its editor.[3] [4]

Magyar Demokrata is described by Krisztián Ungváry as a far-right publication[5] and by János Salamon as a neo-Nazi or neo-Arrow Cross magazine.[6] The magazine is also regarded as part of conservative media which emerged in the country in 2010.[7]

Magyar Demokrata, a social-criticism and cultural magazine, features anti-Israel, anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi articles, according to the Heinrich-Boll-Stiftung and the United States Department of State.[8] [9] [10] However, the weekly claims that anti-Semitism does not exist in Hungary and that it is “a political weapon used by liberals and leftists."[11]

Péter Csermely is one of the former editors of Magyar Demokrata.[12]

In 2016 Magyar Demokrata sold 19,000 copies.[1]
