Edit Herczog

Edit Herczog (born 6 May 1961 in Budapest) is a Hungarian Socialist Party politician[1] who was a Member of the European Parliament between 2004 and 2014.

She took part in the work of the Hungarian-English and Hungarian-American branches of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, as vice-president.

Her committee work included the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, Delegation for relations with Canada and the EU-EEA.

Herczog gained some attention for an attempted intervention into a speech being made by Nigel Farage MEP, a representative for the United Kingdom Independence Party., when she told him, "And Mr. Farage, I’d like to say something Hungarian quotation for you, it is good that you are here because if the monkey goes up to the tree, it is better seen how red is his popo.

"[4] The video of this performance became widely popular, partially on the basis of Farage's attack on the appointment of the top European roles of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and President of the European Council, but also for the unusual language employed.
