Csanád Szegedi
Csanád Szegedi (Hungarian: [ˈt͡ʃɒnaːd ˈsɛɡɛdi]; born 22 September 1982) is a Hungarian politician and former Member of the European Parliament. He was a member of the Hungarian radical nationalist Jobbik political party between 2003 and 2012, which at the time had been accused of antisemitism. In 2012, Szegedi gained international attention after acknowledging that he had Jewish roots. He was also accused of previous bribery to try to keep that revelation a secret, and subsequently resigned from all Jobbik political posts. Szegedi has since become a religious Jew.
