In an article discovered by the news portal karpat.in.ua, the author explains that this year he has once again dragged the calculations of Budapest to settle his relations with the Ukrainian government headed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He sees the reason for this – echoing the statement by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba a few days earlier – in the fact that “the Hungarian side crosses the red line from time to time” and “above all provokes tensions in the Transcarpathia itself “.
How did the situation deteriorate?
The relationship between Budapest and Kiev deteriorated during the local authorities of Transcarpathia and as a consequence again. Kiev accused the Hungarian government of interfering in its internal affairs with the Hungarian candidates, despite various warnings, and campaigned specifically for the Hungarian Transcarpathian Cultural Association (KMKSZ) before voting. As a result, the Ukrainian authorities banned two Hungarian government officials and, in late November, the Ukrainian secret service raided the KMKSZ offices, foundations and the home of the Hungarian organization’s president, László Brenzovics. Then Andrea Bocskor, Hungarian MEP, together with László Brenzovics Mirotvorec (Pacifier), “The enemies of Ukraine″ Responsible website while suspected of treason and the representatives of the Szürte settlement in Transcarpathia, because at the opening ceremony the Hungarian anthem was also sung after the Ukrainian. In light of these developments, the annual review of Transcarpathia on Transcarpathia, published on the Ukrainian surface of Freedom Radio, deserves attention, as it presumably somehow also reflects Kiev’s position.
Havros believes that Budapest, among other things, “crossed the red line” by campaigning directly alongside the Hungarian mayor of KMKSZ and Beregszász, interfering in Ukraine’s internal affairs and violating the country’s electoral laws. Kiev gave an adequate response to these “provocations”: it banned two Hungarian officials, says the Freedom Radio correspondent.
The red line
Budapest has the right to care for the Hungarian community in Transcarpathia, but if it goes beyond the red lines, we will fall into its hands, Ukraine’s foreign minister said on Thursday.
Hungary felt free in Transcarpathia because the central Ukrainian authorities did not pay attention to the situation in Transcarpathia. The situation changed in 2017, when the “right balance” began to form to level the playing field. What we are seeing now is the continuation of this process, he said in response to a question about the scandals around Transcarpathia on 24 television stations in Ukraine.
The general Hungarian attitude towards Transcarpathia as heritage has recently been strengthened without precedent with Hungarian funding from various non-governmental organizations and foundations.
– complains the author.
In the border area of Ukraine, essentially, a whole network of information, financial and political structures is emerging with the support of a neighboring country that is aggressive towards us.
Havros says.
The Ukrainian journalist sees that the Hungarian authorities welcomed the results obtained by his “favorites” from the KMKSZ in the municipal elections at the end of October, although the inclusion of his eight representatives in the provincial council is not a victory at all. He adds that the SZBU has taken an interest in the Hungarian organizations in Transcarpathia financed by Budapest and László Brenzovics, president of KMKSZ.
Thus 2020 will end with strong scandals and the departure of the KMKSZ president to Hungary
– writes the Szabadság Radio journalist.
This latest information has not been officially confirmed, but according to rumors in Ukraine, László Brenzovics arrived in Hungary after the SZBU house search carried out with him and the accusation against him.
Havros also criticizes the fact that, in his view, no matter what concessions Ukraine makes to the “Hungarian minority, who do not constitute one percent of its population, nothing is good enough for them.” He believes that even rejected the pro-minority policy of the Yanukovych regime, “demanding absolute territorial autonomy instead of the 2012 regional language law,” former KMKSZ president Miklós Kovács. Therefore, according to Havros,
Ukraine, as a “civilized people”, must guarantee its own national security and cannot allow its neighbor, who constantly hinders our Euro-Atlantic aspirations, to try to put our house in order.
According to the journalist, 2020 showed Ukraine that “such provocations must be limited by legal means.” According to him, these provocations are exhausted in the fact that after the local elections, when they were inaugurated, the representatives of Sürt sang the Hungarian national anthem or raised the Hungarian flag over the Ukrainian state institutions.
This “would remove the basis for manipulation and confrontation of information,” he says.
Hungarians are law-abiding citizens, so they use everything not required by law for their own benefit. Ukraine, as a state, must learn to defend its own interests
– concludes his annual evaluator Alexander Havros.
