Public security must be defended

The conservative daily Magyar Nemzet suspects that a notorious Roma gang is behind the brutal killing of a famous handball player and the severe wounding of two others, and argues for a more rigorous policy of law and order in the country: "Crisis has also hit Hungary's public security. There are communities and city districts in the country where life has become simply unbearable in view of the daily crimes committed by 'Gypsy gangs'. People's souls are eaten by fear. It wouldn't be at all surprising if the xenophobia directed at the Roma increased among those who feel abandoned by the state, from which they receive nothing but high-handed lessons in tolerance. ... Order and public security must be strengthened immediately. The number of law enforcement officers and police stations must be increased on the one hand, and criminal law must be tightened on the other."
