After the Romani murders, Jobbik became even more popular in the attacked villages

Research indicates that support for the far-right Jobbik party increased significantly in villages attacked by far-right terrorists between 2008 and 2009. The study compares election results from attacked and similar non-attacked villages, revealing a 9-11 percentage point increase in Jobbik's support in the affected areas during the 2010 elections. The findings suggest that the attacks may have contributed to the party's rise, particularly in regions with existing tensions between Roma and non-Roma populations. The study also highlights that the impact of these attacks extended beyond the immediate areas, with Jobbik gaining more votes in villages closer to the attack sites. However, it does not clarify individual voter motivations or the broader societal effects of the violence.
