Hungarian political party Mi Hazánk Mozgalom released a video featuring Novák Előd, vice-chairman of Hatvannégy Vármegye Ifjúsági Mozgalom, delivering a passionate speech at a rally. Előd's speech focused on the 1991 Ukrainian referendum on independence, criticizing the Hungarian government for its perceived lack of support for Hungarian communities in the Carpathian region. He stated, "They abandoned the Hungarians in the Carpathian region, ignoring their plight and the results of the 1991 referendum." The video highlights the historical context of the referendum and the ongoing concerns of Hungarian minorities in the region. The speech also contained strong criticism of the current government's policies, calling them "betrayal." While the video is emotionally charged, it raises important questions about minority rights and international relations. The event took place in Hungary, underscoring the domestic political implications of the issue.
