Kuruc.info is an extremely popular radical right-wing Hungarian online news portal. Kuruc.info self-describes as to the right of Jobbik, unlike Barikád, which is regarded as Jobbik's "semi-official online news organ."[1]

"Kuruc" is the name given to the rebels who fought for independence from the Habsburg Empire from 1671 until 1711.[1]

Categories on the site include "'anti-Hungarianism', 'Gypsy-crime', 'Jewish crime', 'economic news' (where there is more discussion of the economic crimes of 'Jews' and 'communists') and a 'humor' section that regularly entertains the readers with racist Jewish and Gypsy jokes."[1]
