Orban appears in public wearing scarf, on which part of Ukraine is part of Hungary
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán appeared at fan meeting with football player Balazs Dzúdzák wearing a scarf with a map of Hungary, on which parts of several EU states, Ukraine and Serbia are part of "Greater Hungary"
Hungarian publication Mandiner reports.
Orbán posted a video on Instagram of himself wearing a scarf with a map of "Greater Hungary". On the scarf, parts of Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Slovakia "joined" the country.
Member of European Parliament Daniel Freund commented on Orbán's scandalous appearance.
"Prime Minister of Hungary is wearing a scarf with a map of Greater Hungary. How reassuring for Hungary's neighbors", he wrote.
Romanian member of European Parliament Alin Mituta was outraged by Viktor Orbán's behavior, compared him to Putin and called for "isolation" of Hungarian Prime Minister.
"Another irresponsible act of Viktor Orban, who appeared today with a scarf with the map of Greater Hungary. It's a revisionist gesture that puts Orban alongside Putin, who also dreams of border changes. He should be sanctioned and isolated by EU leaders in the European Council", he wrote.
Greater Hungary is a kingdom that existed until 1920 and lost part of its territories after Trianon Treaty. Currently, these territories belong to Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Slovakia.
