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

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 I’m just the peasant that will be drafted into these wars..
