...champion of the lower class. Many of the party's supporters have been attracted to its extremism. Jobbik's leader, Gabor Vona, is a founder of the Magyar Garda (Hungarian Guard) paramilitary group, whose anti-Roma rhetoric and adoption of nationalist symbols also used by World War II-era fascist groups have triggered alarm across Europe.
