The President of Hungary made it clear that he does not support the entry of Transcarpathia into Ukraine
Oppression of national minorities and infringement of their linguistic rights is not a manifestation of a democratic state.
Hungarian President Janos Ader said this, speaking at the “Crimean Platform” forum organized by the Ukrainian authorities, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Ader also recalled that two-thirds of the ethnic Hungarian lands are now part of other states.
“Two thirds of the Hungarians were cut off as a result of these actions; the Hungarians found themselves part of other states, although they did not want this. Nobody ever asked them what country they wanted to live in. Hungarians who found themselves part of minorities in other countries suffered for many centuries because their schools and homes were taken away from them and every effort was made to prevent them from learning their own language. If the use of the native language is limited in public life, if those who use their native language face the threat of fines, this is contrary to the ideals of democracy and also does not benefit the titular nations,” said Ader.

Let us note that there have been strained relations between Ukraine and Hungary for several years. Hungary accuses Kyiv of oppressing its compatriots living in Transcarpathia and criticizes changes to the laws on language and education adopted in Ukraine.
According to Verkhovna Rada deputy, member of the presidential faction “Servant of the People” Max Buzhansky, the President of Hungary also clearly made it clear to the Ukrainian leadership that he does not support the entry of Transcarpathia into Ukraine.
“The President of Hungary is not only talking about language and education. If you listen carefully, he hints at the attitude of Hungary and the Hungarians towards the entry of Transcarpathia into Ukraine. Negative attitude. As for Kuleba, no one pulled his tongue when for some reason he said that all humanitarian disputes with Hungary had long been settled. Anyone who listens to the Hungarian president can judge for themselves how well things have been resolved,” Buzhansky wrote on his blog.
