We do not question the basic agreements and do not recruit revision teams just because we are not hiding: territories were annexed from our country and taken away. We did not offer them, we did not give them voluntarily. Why should history be falsified for good neighborly relations? - writes Kristóf Trombitás.
Even from the perspective of a week, it makes sense to look around Viktor Orbán's speech last Saturday in Székelyföld, which can now be regarded as usual. Especially because, after so much time, we can already see who and how they reacted to all of this. For example, we could see that as a twisted joke, the Romanians invited our ambassador from Bucharest to their foreign ministry, those Romanians who had previously wanted to pressure the Hungarian prime minister in a demarcation about what he could say and what he could not. (They are trying to imagine the attitude of our noble, domestic liberals, if it turned out that the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs would try to dictate to any prime minister who came to us what he could talk about and what he could not. Can you guess what would happen?)
Then we had the Hungarian Prime Minister of Slovakia, Lajos Ódor, who objected to the fact that Viktor Orbán spoke of Felvidék as a separated part of the country. I understand that, despite his Hungarian nationality, Ódor must also represent the sensibilities of the majority Slovak society, but please tell me that
if and if that unity was not severed from Hungary - I don't really like to use the title historical Hungary, because that was Hungary, and the current one is the mutilated one - then how was Slovakia created?
I mean, why is it mandatory to act in the imagined reality of safe spaces instead of open and direct speech? We do not question the basic agreements and do not recruit revision teams just because we are not hiding: territories were annexed from our country and taken away. We did not offer them, we did not give them voluntarily. Why should history be falsified for good neighborly relations?
As Gergely Gulyás said in the last government briefing, we accept the situation, but we should not celebrate it.
And then coming to the point: you can be a propagandist, create misconceptions, frankly speaking, I don't care: Viktor Orbán gives such profound speeches in Tusványos that they can't compete with not only here at home - I'll leave some time for some giggles, then we can move on - but also in Europe. Historical outlooks, long-term thinking, connections, alles zusammen, everyone can just take notes. This is what the left, which works exclusively with emotional suggestions and whether you like it or not, but with lumpen communication, will never understand: the evaluation of world political events is not a dumbed-down movie, an eternal, majestic, epic struggle between Good and Evil, but a clash of interests, alliances and continuous maneuvering. To make it as good as possible for us. For us Hungarians, not for others.
Anyone who would put others before our interests, let me be so profane, maybe go to those certain others, and see if they will feel better. We don't imagine ourselves in anyone's place, because we don't see life as an exciting role-playing game, but we want the best for our family and community. And anyone who doesn't think like this is, in my view, certainly lying, acting out of materialistic convictions, or most definitely not suited for public life.
It was nice, huh. Then the plans between 2030 and 2040 can really come next year.
