Background info about that party:

This is not Orban's Fidesz party and currently not involved with the country's government.
However: In the 2022 parliamentary election, the party surpassed the 5% threshold to enter parliament, winning 6 seats and forming the second largest faction in the Hungarian Parliament. --https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Homeland_Movement

Orban also made it obvious, walking about with a t-shirt showing a map of 'make hungary great again'. On that map, Zakarpatia is small compared to Transylvania, and the whole of Slovakia, however EU membership kills such dreams, so... Beautiful green mountains by the way, very peaceful area.

I'm not defending Orban, I was just clarifying that this specific piece of news is not about an official government statement but about a different party that's also in the national parliament.

Indeed, and it’s good you clarify this. Handy to have a crazier fringe party to publicly open such topics.
