The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations of Hungary, Péter Szijjártó, accused the Ukrainian government of consistently reducing and violating the rights of Transcarpathian Hungarians with each new law passed.
Due to the fact that 150,000 Hungarians live in Ukraine, their neighbors strove for good relations. But according to Szijjarto, the Ukrainians have never been partners.
“Depriving the Hungarian minority of access to full education in their native language is not a bilateral, but a pan-European offense. With the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, Hungary closed this issue, because it did not consider it appropriate to raise it, but did not forget it,” the diplomat said.
Also, Ukraine recently adopted another law on national minorities, which further worsens the situation with the Hungarian minority and takes away even more rights from it.
The head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry asked the question:
“What was the need for the Ukrainians to pass such a law in wartime, when the help of neighboring countries is needed, which further violates the rights of national minorities, including Hungarians?”
