Romanian paper accuses Hungarian parliament of international power grab

A Romanian paper last week wrote that the Hungarian Parliament extended its sovereignty to the territories of other states, reports Romanian-Hungarian portal Erdély Online.

The Bucharest daily Ziua published an article entitled “The Parliament of Greater Hungary,” in which it said that the Parliament had directly subordinated all Hungarian communities living outside of the country’s borders to itself by making the Forum of Representatives of the Carpathian Basin (KMKF) its permanent institution. The article referred to a March decision by Parliament.

“Hungarian representatives in the parliaments of Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia and Croatia who are members of the KMKF have become – as a result of this decision – subordinates of the Hungarian Parliament,” the paper wrote, adding that this means the Hungarian Parliament extended its sovereignty to the territory of other states.

The author of the article thinks that through the KMKF, Budapest politicians will try to become involved with developments in parts of Romania and Slovakia.

    It is a historical fact that after 1920 Hungary was robbed of 2 third of it’s country….so what is the problem? A part of Romania, Ukraine and the whole of Slovenia are lawfully a part of Hungary for a 1000 years!!
