Novák in five months received the salaries, although he is a eurosceptic who in January 2012 burned the European Union's flag at an anti-EU demonstration organized by Jobbik.[1] In 2015, he was involved in a controversy as deputy leader over his remarks shared on social media where he suggested that the Romani population in Hungary was the biggest problem that the country was facing.[2]
