Hungary�s foreign minister says a call by a far-right parliamentarian to register all of the country�s Jews as potential security risks is �completely unacceptable.�

Janos Martonyi also denies suggestions that Hungary is lenient with neo-Nazis.

His remarks Wednesday, during a visit to Austria, reflected Hungary�s attempts to deal with the fallout from the comments by Marton Gyongyosi of the Jobbik party.

Gyongyosi told the legislature last week that it was time �to assess … how many people of Jewish origin there are here, and especially in the Hungarian parliament and the Hungarian government, who represent a certain national security risk.�

Gyongyosi later apologized to �our Jewish compatriots� but added that Hungary needed to be wary of �Zionist Israel and those serving it also from here.�
Some 550,000 Hungarian Jews died in the Holocaust.
