Slovak minister: Hungary would take Slovakian territories
Change language:
Slovak Foreign Minister Rastislav Káčer’s statement outraged Igor Matovič and György Gyimesi. The foreign minister said in a television programme that “if Vladimir Putin had been successful in Ukraine, Hungary would have had territorial claims against Slovakia”.
According to index.hu, Slovak Foreign Minister Rastislav Káčer was asked whether Hungarian policy could reach the point where it had territorial claims within ten years. “If Vladimir Putin had been successful in Ukraine, Hungary would already have territorial claims against Slovakia,” he said. Káčer believes that this is a current issue today, which is why it is important for Slovakia that Putin does not succeed in Ukraine.
He lived in Hungary for five years, has been following security policy for thirty years and has an “enormous secret intelligence file” on this in his vault. He expressed his view that Orbán’s scarf embodied serious strategic problems, after he was asked why he criticised the Hungarian Prime Minister so sharply for his scarf depicting Greater Hungary.
Slovak Foreign Minister caused an outcry
Káčer’s recent statement has also caused an outcry in the largest ruling party, OĽaNO (Obyčajní ľudia a nezávislé osobnosti). Igor Matovič and György Gyimesi also held a joint press conference on Wednesday afternoon. During the press conference, the foreign minister was compared to Ján Slota. “Káčer is the sober Slota”, said Gyimesi, a statement repeated several times by Matovič.
