Facebook removes Hungarian government video about ‘white Christians’

A minister called the removal of his post a violation of free speech.

Facebook has removed a controversial Hungarian government video which claimed that “white Christians” are gone from parts of Vienna and the same could happen in Hungary.

János Lázár, whose title is minister of the prime minister’s office, posted the video on his official Facebook page late Tuesday, weeks ahead of the country’s April 8 election.

The short clip alternates between shots of the minister talking on a Vienna street and footage of women with headscarves and young children walking by.

“In Vienna there are lots of schools where there are no longer white Viennese children, only Muslim immigrants,” Lázár said in the video, which can also be found here.
