Voters of the nationalists Claudiu Tarziu and Laszlo Torockai, apparently, missed the blows of the Russian boot.
Recently, the leaders of the Hungarian and Romanian far-right parties, Claudiu Tarziu and Laszlo Torockai, as if on the same command, announced that their countries are ready to annex part of the territories of Ukraine in the event of its defeat in the war with Russia, and the representative of the Alliance for the Unification of Romanians (AUR) party Claudiu Tarziu emphasized that he was not even against Romania leaving NATO for this reason, and added that he needed “a thaw in relations between Romania and Russia.”
“Northern Bukovina cannot be forgotten. Southern Bessarabia, Hertsa County, Transcarpathia – everything that belonged and continues to belong to the Romanian nation must return to the borders of the state“- said Tyrziu pathetically.
In turn, László Torockai from the Hungarian Mi Hazánk (“Our Motherland”) also announced claims to Transcarpathia in the event of Ukraine’s loss of statehood as a result of the war.
“We, as a party of Hungary, lay claim to Transcarpathia“, – he said.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time these comrades (that’s right, since red ties are clearly visible from under their jackets) have made such provocative statements. Even in the first days of the Russian Armed Forces’ invasion of Ukraine, Tyrziu declared his “readiness to extend a hand to Russia.” And Torotskai in November 2022, when we had bloody battles for the Kherson region and Donbass, wished Poland on the occasion of Independence Day to once again have a common border with Hungary and published a photograph taken in 1939 after the capture of Transcarpathia, where a Pole and a Hungarian are shaking hands at the border post.
In this case, one thing pleases: official Budapest and Bucharest do not support such aggressive ideas and do not lay claim to the territory of Ukraine.
The AUR party, which Tarziu represents, gained 19% in the last parliamentary elections, and Mi Hazank from Torotskai even less – 5.88%. They are both in the minority, but the fact that such radical parties have their representation in parliament, albeit small, is still depressing, so our answer is addressed both to the politicians themselves who thought of saying this when Ukraine is bleeding, and to those who voted for them.
We want to remind comrades Tarziu and Torotskai, as well as their voters, that Ukraine and Romania, as well as Hungary, recognized each other’s independence more than 30 years ago, when these two nationalists (and looking at what they say from the stands, they are not even nationalists , and the Nazis) were still young and poorly educated. But, judging by their rhetoric, despite studying at universities, their education has not increased much over the years.
Let us also recall that Romania and Hungary are members not only of NATO, but also of the European Union. If the first guarantees collective protection (primarily from the Russian Federation, for which Tyrziu and Toroktsai sing praises), then the second guarantees various economic and social advantages, including the opportunity to travel around Europe without going through tedious customs inspections and without paying various duties, and Romania and Hungary, let us note, are members of these two organizations precisely within their own borders, and not together with Transcarpathia and other territories that they claim. And if one of the European states, God forbid, decides to “annex” something to themselves, it will end with these borders appearing again for them, and “with the burden” of sanctions and other unpleasant consequences of an aggressive policy.
I wonder if AUR and Mi Hazánk voters (especially those who like to relax on the Cote d’Azur, Tenerife and other European resorts, as well as engage in international business activities) are ready to give up the benefits of the EU and exchange France and Spain for some Lake Baikal, since This is exactly the option they will have if these two, having come to power, suddenly decide to annex part of another European country.
Let the citizens of Romania and Hungary, who voted for the far-right fringes, think about what path these individuals are leading their country on and how this could end for them personally.
It is also worth remembering that there is a country like Moldova, where people live who are very loyal to Romania. Moreover, many of them even consider themselves Romanians. And yet, although official Bucharest has established very warm relations with the Romanians of Moldova, all these years it has never decided to expand its territory at the expense of the neighboring state.
It was not in vain that we brought Moldova: if Comrade Tyrziu forgot, then part of the territory of this state (the so-called “PMR”) is under the military control of the Russian Federation, therefore, fawning over Moscow on the part of this politician is disrespect not only for Ukraine, but also for Moldova. Yes, by and large, and to Romania itself, because not everyone has the brains to expose their state in such a way in the eyes of the international community.
As for Hungary, this country also suffered from the Kremlin’s aggression, and its citizens did not forget 1956, when Soviet tanks drove through Budapest and Soviet guns fired. So, if AUR and Mi Hazank voters are bored in the “decaying” Europe and they are nostalgic for the strikes of Russian artillery, then they can come to the front with us and have a good time in those populated areas that are shelled with enviable regularity by their “dear friends” the Russians . They can walk through minefields right in the destroyed Donbass and “extend a hand” to Russia… True, most likely, they will extend not their arms, but their legs.
Although Ukraine and Romania have had difficult periods in their relations, in recent years we have found mutual understanding and developed a full-fledged partnership, and the Russian attack in 2022 brought Ukraine even closer to both Romania and Hungary. Adequate citizens of these two states (and, fortunately, these are the majority) have long understood what kind of monster is in the Kremlin and why it is necessary to help Ukraine, because if the Ukrainians had not stood their ground two years ago, the Russian army would have already been under their windows, and the voters of Torotskai and Tyrziu would have been thinking not about Transcarpathia, but about how to quickly evacuate to the West.
So the words of these far-right politicians against the backdrop of warming Ukrainian-Hungarian (yes, despite the pro-Russian Orban) and Ukrainian-Romanian relations sounded very inappropriate, like the sound of flatulence at the dinner table. What do they do with the inadequate people who spoil the air? That’s right, they are expelled from decent society.
Russian money also smells very bad. And after claims to Ukrainian lands, no one has any doubts about who pays and who dances comrades Tyrziu and Torotskai. These “two from the casket” are ready to kiss the Russian boot as much as they like and stand in an indecent pose in front of Putin, as long as he does not stop supporting him financially. But if Russia has a large oil and gas pipeline, weapons reserves and a countless number of “mobs,” then the far-right Hungarians and Romanians do not have all this, so in the event of a big war and withdrawal from NATO, as the same Tyrziu stated, there will be nothing to defend with. ..
We think that statements about the annexation of Transcarpathia were made with the aim of currying favor with the Russian dictator, and at the same time gaining additional votes for themselves. But smart citizens of Romania and Hungary are unlikely to vote for the foul-smelling ultra-right. And Putin is a bad boss. Just look at how the first leaders of the “LPR” and “DPR” ended their lives. And if Tyrziu and Torotskai want to repeat the sad fate of Bolotov and Zakharchenko, then, of course, let them try. They are already political corpses. And they may well become not only political. If they continue in the same spirit, they will end up the same way as the leaders of the Donbass “republics” – in a coffin. So, comrades of the ultra-right, the days when you decide to really take a swing at Ukrainian territories will be your last days…
Context
Let us recall that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba commented on the statement of the leader of the far-right Hungarian party Mi Hazánk Laszlo Torockai, who wished to occupy the Ukrainian Transcarpathia.
We also wrote that Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjarto was surprised by his actions in Uzhgorod at a meeting with Ermak.
