László Bogdán (June 3, 1974[4] – 14 July 2020) was a Hungarian politician who served as the mayor of Cserdi, a village inhabited mainly by Roma people in southern Hungary.

[7] An article published in Society and Economy profiled Cserdi, specifically Bogdán's work in it, describing it as a "seminal" change.

[7] In 2013 he established a program known as köcsögmentesités ("asshole elimination") which allowed young people to tour prisons in an attempt to lower crime rates.

[5][10][9] The program's name is an offensive reference to the practice of raping of young and weak males in prisons and Bogdán wanted to counterbalance the idea, popular in the local Roma community, that imprisonment was "cool".

It became highly profitable for the town, and Bogdán was able to expand the program to cover 15 hectares (37 acres), and include crops such as tomatoes, peppers, onion, paprika, and garlic.

Society and Economy noted that Bogdán received favorable attention from his work at a time when it was "rare to see a Roma man projected by the mainstream media in such a positive way".

[7] He employed unusual methods, including a form of public punishment to implement his ideas: workers who arrived late were to read a text for their co-workers.
