János Pócs (born 17 November 1963)[1] is a Hungarian politician, member of the National Assembly (MP) for Jászapáti (Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County Constituency II) from 2010 to 2014, and for Jászberény (Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County Constituency II) since 2014.[2]
He was elected member of the Committee on Agriculture on 14 May 2010. He served as the mayor of Jászapáti between October 2010 and 2014.[2] He functioned as one of the recorders of the National Assembly from 6 May to 2 June 2014.[2]
He made international news in December 2017 when he posted a photo on his Facebook page showing people standing over a slain and charred pig, with "Ő VOLT A SOROS!!!" inscribed on the animal. The inscription can be translated as "He was next in line" or "He was Soros." He commented on the photo the following: "One pig less over there." He denied that the inscription had anything to do with George Soros. The Open Society Foundations described the photo as a "shocking attack" and "another example of officially accepted anti-Semitism in Viktor Orbán's Hungary." The Hungarian government has previously launched a political campaign against the Hungarian-American businessman.[3][4]
