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

Funny, I just read some piece of news that one of the leaders in the romanian far-right party wants to regain the north-bucovina territories ( which have been a contentious issue for a long while now ) from Ukraine at any cost, even if it would mean Romania leaving NATO. Birds of a feather share the same russian propaganda I suppose.

According to russian propaganda Poland is supposed to take part of Ukraine as well.
Not even the most far-right group ever tries to imply that.
Thought alone is crazy.

They cannot even imagine different propaganda than the internal one. Also every country is imperialist, but not russia.

Technically, sea to sea was always an aspiration of the polish but they never got there, just claimed swathes of land that belonged to others and never secured those claims.

The Hungarian empire certainly held parts of Ukraine at one point and therefore Hungary does have claims on it again, same with Romania.

The issue is, do we want the modern world to wage war based on historical land claims again like we did in centuries past? My answer is no but Iโ€™m just the peasant that will be drafted into these wars..

Just lock the two of them into a room and don't let them out until they can agree to whom Transylvania belongs. We should have peace then.
