Magyar Jelen (Hungarian: Hungarian Present) is a radical nationalist online newspaper published in Budapest, Hungary, since 2020. Between 2003 and 2013 it was a biweekly print magazine, before ceasing publication.
In 2003 László Toroczkai became the editor of the paper.[1]
Magyar Jelen had a radical nationalist[2] and an anti-Semitic stance.[3] Its editor, Toroczkai, published articles in the paper arguing that the Romani and African populations are threats to Hungary.[4]
The online version of Magyar Jelen was restarted in August 2020, after a relative of the owner of the Elemi.hu news portal terminated the access rights of the employees connected to the Our Homeland Movement.[5] László Toroczkai notified the newsletter recipients about this on 25 August 2020.[5] The recipients also learned from a newsletter on 28 August 2020 that the Internet version of Magyar Jelen was launched, which follows the spirit of the Our Homeland Movement.[5] According to the imprint of the online Magyar Jelen, the publisher is the Innovative Communication Foundation, which is based in Ásotthalom.[5]
