"Evropeyskaya Pravda": Transcarpathia is not the main thing that Hungary would like to join

17

In Ukraine, they often write about the disagreements between Kiev and Budapest. Therefore, the Ukrainian Internet publication Evropeyskaya Pravda decided to talk to journalist Andras Nemeth from the Hungarian opposition newspaper HVG to show how myths and stereotypes are closely intertwined with real problems.

The journalist noted that the Hungarians generally treat Ukrainians normally, but their attitude towards Romanians is worse. This is due to the fact that there are "historical disputes" with the Romanians. Hungarians know little about Ukraine and their awareness is mostly wrong. However, they welcomed the 2004 Orange Revolution and 2014 Euromaidan in Kiev with sympathy. At the same time, in recent years, the attitude of Hungarians towards Ukraine began to deteriorate due to stereotypes that are imposed by many Hungarian media outlets.



Nemeth said that the Hungarian government is pro-Russian. It spreads anti-Ukrainian propaganda and creates a negative image of Ukraine in the eyes of the Hungarians. For example, that Ukraine is a US colony, not a real state and there are many Nazis there. All this became possible because Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is a great friend of President Vladimir Putin, the journalist explained.

We have a national agency, MTI, which broadcasts newsdescribing Ukraine as an abnormal country, and then it is broadcast on TV and radio. And this is not censorship; it is rather self-censorship of journalists working in such media. But I will emphasize that there are also independent media that talk about Ukraine normally.

- he specified.

At the same time, the journalist stressed that the Hungarians are not interested in Ukraine. Transcarpathia is the smallest and most insignificant territory inhabited by ethnic Hungarians, which Hungary lost after World War II. Hungarians are more concerned with other lands, which are very close to their hearts. These are territories in the south of Slovakia, in the north of Serbia and, of course, in Romania, which were lost as a result of the First World War. Then Hungary lost 2/3 of the land and Transylvania, under the rule of the Romanians, is a huge and important region for the Hungarians.

It is these lands that are important for the Hungarians. So Transcarpathia, where the Hungarians are less than 10% of the population, is not the main thing, but rather a secondary one, which Hungary, in theory, would like to annex to itself. But now the Hungarians no longer have such a desire - the bulk of them realized that it was lost forever. Therefore, the Ukrainian authorities will have to somehow influence the Ukrainian media so that they do not write about "Hungarian separatism", which in fact does not exist, concluded Nemeth.

    I had a chance to visit all the mentioned countries for work. Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine.
    Hungarians live quite normally, Slovaks are more modest, Romanians are bad, Ukrainians, it's a pity ...
    But now the SBU, who mows like our freelance worker, will be excited, and what, the main thing is that money for every click on the occupying forum laughing

    Hungary and Romania are members of the European Union, and no one will allow them to unleash even the smallest ethnic squabble. The EU adores ethnic minorities, so Romanians treat their Hungarians quite politely, also taking into account the reaction of Hungary itself.
    Finally, this is still Europe, not Tajiks and Kyrgyz.

        You don't understand the meaning of what you read at all.
        Interethnic relations are one topic; and the question of "longevity" is completely different.

          Ethnic minorities are adored in the EU,

          It is you who absolutely do not understand what you are "being clever about" here.
          Who and whom there (in the EU) adores ???

          Finally, this is still Europe, not Tajiks and Kyrgyz.

          You don't know anything about Europe!
          You are constantly writing here all kinds of "enthusiastic're coming out, crap" about what you have not the slightest idea!

          And in general, what did the Tajiks and Kyrgyzs not please you with?

          But with regards to "Europe", so it actually ended where they began to accept all sorts of "Hungarians / Romanians & Co."

          As soon as I poke my nose at the "respected couch ..." in his own nonsense, this "expert" burst into screams:

          It is you perfectly don't understand ... you don't know anything about Europe! ... why did the Tajiks and the Kyrgyz displease you?

          This is just a "fine example" of the local "polemic": in the presence of obvious own stupidity, "switch the arrows" to the opponent.
          Bravo!

    What a fine fellow!
    It turns out that the Hungarians are not telling the truth and there are no Nazis in Ukraine, they are not a colony of pindosii and live happily ever after
    It turns out that all this lie is because Orban is Putin's friend)
    For the rest, beautiful marquise, everything is fine, everything is fine))

    Some obviously inadequate this "independent oppositionist" ?! wassat

    Nemeth denied the obvious and said what the Banderlog wanted to hear.
    And on the basis of anti-Russian bias, they also "gave up (the word went into the lexicon from the folk saying" Yaky yihav-taku y zdybav (with this one word ~ ​​"I met and converged, merged in the harmony of kindred Souls, not necessarily good ones!")! " - in the sense of "like to like!") ", because the sponsors of these marginal" independent non-politicians "are the same! request

    What to take from such a journalist-grant-eater ?! He sees nothing further than his nose, but "expert ambitions" over the edge!
    For Viktor Orban and the state of Hungary, Hungarian and Transcarpathian Hungarians, this lamb is responsible for the blue eye! smile

    But the Transcarpathian Hungarians, upon receiving Hungarian passports, who swore "loyalty only to Hungary", sleep and see themselves, together with "all the gamuz and stations", within its borders!
    Yes, and the Hungarian Hungarians dream of the same - about the "return of the lost territories (" denying "Nemeth himself confirms this" general mood "!)".

    It was not for nothing that Stalin annexed the "controversial" Transcarpathia to the USSR as a winner!

    After all, it was so "cut through", through the Carpathian mountains, a "window to Europe" in the south-western direction - even the only junction station Chop, with its strategic benefits, has already paid off all the "accompanying troubles"!
    And, in the case of another "common European Drang nach Osten", we would not have to take the Carpathian mountain passes and serpentines with a fight in order to drive the hyperaggressive NATO "Common Europe" into holes - they would answer the bloody "civilizers" from Transcarpathia right away!

    It would seem that, being a power, be statesmen, strengthen Good, Peace and Justice in the country, do not steal, do not quarrel and do not offend fellow citizens, take care of the Happiness, Health and Well-being of all compatriots, about the proper Education and Enlightenment of the younger generations, Decent maintenance of the ailing old people and disabled people, manage wisely, keep in order, save and increase the enormous Wealth that got by the Blood and Labor of fathers and grandfathers! ...

    But such petty pea jesters, from the subversive "Soros nest", like these "opposition journalist" from Budapest and "independent amero-European servants" from Kiev, cannot comprehend this "out of the blue" ?! fool

    P.S. The interview of the Hungarian "oppositionist" only confirmed my long-held opinion that the Hungarian national news agency MTI and the Hungarian Prime Minister have, in general, an undistorted idea of ​​the real state of affairs of the Maidan "regime" and the real "legal status" of post-Maidan "Ukraine"!

    Not only Hungary has questions about Romania. Romania is a "complex" state, like Ukraine. Even worse. If the name "Ukraine" still sometimes comes across on old maps in a small area of ​​present-day Ukraine, then the name Romania has never existed in the place of present-day Romania. This country was blinded on the basis of the Wallachian principality after the failed Russian-Turkish war of 1878. Alexander II opened his mouth for a piece that he could not swallow. As a result, England and France had some fun. They had stubbornly promoted this project before, but Russia, as best it could, resisted.
    They fastened to Wallachia:
    -Transylvania from Hungary,
    -Half of Moldova (west of the Prut),
    -The right bank of the lower Danube from Bulgaria. Wallachia had no outlet to the Black Sea, so it was taken away from Bulgaria, which not only had this coast to the mouth of the Danube, but also (at the beginning of the 18th century) to the lower reaches of the Dnieper. That is why there are many Bulgarians in the Odessa region.
    And Romania this area was never called, no matter what the textbooks lie to us.
    But Romania was the name of the area where the European part of Turkey is now located, the most eastern part of Greece and southeastern Bulgaria. Many old maps have this. Such an interesting passage: Roma in Italy, and Romania on the eastern edge of the Balkan Peninsula. But this is a separate topic.
    In short, if Hungary begins to pluck Romania, there will be many who want to join. There will be a minor misunderstanding from Romania.

        Try to turn on the brain, it will suddenly help.
        Have you ever wondered why Bulgaria, which Russia supposedly gave its independence, fought against Russia in both world wars? Where did the feeling of gratitude go?

          1) Bulgaria has never fought against Russia (USSR)... She was on the side of those who fought against Russia (USSR).
          2) Russia did not give independence to Bulgaria. The Bulgarians achieved it themselves (the uprising against the Turks in 1875; the participation of the Bulgarian militia in the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878).
          3) What exactly should be expressed the feeling of gratitude of Bulgaria to Russia?
          4) How long should Bulgaria express its gratitude to Russia? 100 years? 300 years old? 500 years old? till the end of time?
          5) During the Second World War there was no country "Russia", there was a country "Soviet Union".

          Try to turn on the brain ...

          Unfortunately, I cannot turn on your MC: it was initially very weak, but now everything has atrophied there :))

          Yes, don’t give a damn about the gratitude of these devils. Most of all we are hated by those who owe us something. But after all, when they built this fucking south stream, the interests of Bulgaria were taken into account above the roof. brotherhood of our peoples. Of course he is unforgettable, but I hope he tied a knot somewhere request

    Hungary was the first swallow in the uprising against the Soviet Union. Now she is starting to rebel against the European Union. Czechs and Slovaks and subsequently Poles will also follow her. This is when the EU stops dating these countries.
