Dóra Dúró (born 5 March 1987) is a Hungarian politician of the Our Homeland Movement, formerly spokesperson of the far-right[1] nationalist political party Jobbik.

After the 2010 elections, she was elected to the National Assembly of Hungary. Assuming office at the age of 23, she was the youngest member of the Országgyűlés until 2018. Her husband is Előd Novák, the former deputy leader of Jobbik.

Personal life

Controversy

In September, 2020, Dúró said that the book titled Meseország mindenkié (Fairytaleland is for Everyone) is "homosexual propaganda". She tore out sheets and then shredded them in a paper shredder.[4][5][6][7][8] Many public figures criticized her actions,[9][10] and the Magyar Könyvkiadók és Könyvterjesztők Egyesülése (Association of Hungarian Publishers and Distributors) stated in a communication that this act was: "[In] Communion with the legacy of Nazi bookbinders and communist book shreds."[11]
