MOSCOW, Jan 27 backlash from Hungarian Internet users. On Thursday, the US television channel Sky News reported that NATO member countries are considering the creation of new combat units of a thousand people in Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovakia. It is noted that the new units will be similar to those that exist in the Baltic countries and Poland. «NATO and American teams have nothing to look for either in Hungary or in Russia! Go home!» — wrote the user Dezho Ach in the comments to the article pestisracok.hu, where the news about the plans of the alliance was posted. Some Hungarians associate the strengthening of NATO's presence in the country with the upcoming parliamentary elections in early April, especially since the leader of the opposition coalition, Peter Marki-Zaj, said that Hungary's membership in the European Union and NATO is a guarantee of freedom, security and prosperity of the country.
"This is a cunning trap. Hungary is not threatened by the Russians. Much more — NATO troops, which can at any moment intervene in the April elections on the side of the opposition", — considers reader Bela Babuch.
An important point in Ukrainian-Hungarian relations is the issue of the rights of the Hungarian national minority in Transcarpathia. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto previously stated that the oppression of the Transcarpathian Hungarians seriously limits the possibility of any assistance to Kiev from Budapest in the current situation around Ukraine. Hungarian users also questioned the advisability of supporting Ukraine. «Do we have anything to do with the whole of Ukraine, should we show solidarity with those who oppress the Hungarians there?» User Sandor Tiglashi wrote in the comments.
