On March 14, 2013, the Hungarian Human Resources Minister Zoltán Balog awarded Ferenc Szaniszló the Táncsics award, Hungary's highest state award for journalism.[2][3][4][5] A dozen former recipients of the Táncsics returned their awards in protest, due to Szaniszló's history of controversy including a 2011 incident which resulted in a government fine over, according to The Independent, "anti-Semitic outbursts and his detrimental remarks about the country’s ostracised Roma minority," including calling Roma "human monkeys"[5] and suggesting he regarded Jews as garbage.[6]
Szaniszló's receipt of the award was not only criticized by Mor but also the Hungarian and international media and by U.S. ambassador Eleni Tsakopoulos Kounalakis.[5][7]
Mor was born in Israel but his parents came from Romania and Poland. They survived the Holocaust but numerous relatives were murdered in Auschwitz.[8]
