The political accessory depicts a map of Hungary within the Kingdom of Hungary – including the territories of neighboring countries.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is in yet another scandal. The politician wore a scarf with a map of the so-called “Great Hungary”, which “included”, in particular, the territory of Ukraine, Romania, as well as other neighboring countries. This was reported by the Hungarian edition of Mandiner.
The incident occurred during a football match between Hungary and Greece. The official later shared related videos and photos from the meeting on his Facebook page.
German MEP Daniel Freund drew attention to the fact that Orban’s scarf depicted a map of Hungary with foreign territories. He is about this wrote on your Twitter.
“The Prime Minister of Hungary is wearing a scarf with a map of Greater Hungary. It’s a relief for Hungary’s neighbors,” the politician said.
The Romanian Foreign Ministry expressed its disapproval of the Hungarian ambassador because of the scarf of his country’s prime minister.
The agency noted that the gesture of the head of the Hungarian government contrasted with the “atmosphere of openness and continuation of bilateral dialogue.” They recalled the recent visit of the Romanian Foreign Minister to Budapest for consultations with his Hungarian counterpart and the Hungarian Prime Minister.
“Any revisionist manifestation, in whatever form it may be acceptable, is unacceptable,” the press release stressed.
The so-called “Great Hungary” is the hypothetical ancestral home of the Hungarians. In particular, the 13th century Franciscan monk, Giovanni da Plano Carpini, mentioned him in his travelogue.
In modern politics, the term “Greater Hungary” is used to refer to the lands that are part of the Kingdom of Hungary. However, on June 4, 1920, these territories were ceded to other countries under the terms of the Trianon Treaty.
In particular, some Hungarian revanchist politicians are asserting territorial claims against Ukraine, Romania, Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia. The Kingdom of Hungary lost these lands.
Earlier, Orban said Hungary would not support the European Union’s plan to provide Ukraine with macro-financial assistance for 2023.
