After the 2010 elections he was elected to the National Assembly of Hungary. He was a “local assistant” of Csanád Szegedi to the Member of the European Parliament in Brussels. Novák in five months received the salaries, although he is a eurosceptic who in January 2012 burned the European Union's flag at an anti-EU demonstration organized by Jobbik.[1] In 2015, he was involved in a controversy as deputy leader over his remarks shared on social media where he suggested that the Romani population in Hungary was the biggest problem that the country was facing.[2]
Előd Novák was forced by the party's parliamentary group to resign from his position as an MP in 2016.[3] Now, he is a vocal critic of Jobbik's new policies.
In June 2018 he joined Our Homeland Movement, László Toroczkai's new party with several other Jobbik members.[4]
He is married to Dóra Dúró. They have a daughter, Hunóra Kincső (2011) and three sons, Bottyán János (2013),[5] Nimród Nándor (2014)[6] and Zente Levente (2019).[7][8]
