In the framework of the elections that took place in Hungary last Sunday, the inhabitants of these villages had to literally fight back from the Ukrainians, who suddenly expressed a desire to participate in the election process.
This was reported by the Zakarpattian media.
According to reports, residents of a neighboring country who managed to obtain Hungarian citizenship were transported by bus to Hungarian settlements along the border with Ukraine.
Such an influx provoked an escalation of tension in the villages. In some villages, it came to clashes between locals and Ukrainians. In particular, the situation escalated in the village of Kishpaladi, whose population almost doubled on election day.
The passage to the polling stations was blocked for the visitors. Hungarians were on duty at the entrance, chanting in the face of Ukrainians: “Get out of here! It’s not up to you to decide who will be mayor!”. The footage was captured on video by local media.
Moreover, according to one of the residents of the village, several Ukrainians were registered in her house without her knowledge. According to some reports, about two hundred Ukrainians were brought to the village for the elections in order to influence the outcome of the elections.
