Moreover, most likely to the sorrow of László Kövér, population movements in modern times have been more frequent than earlier.Īs far as the Hungarians are concerned, they were relative latecomers, arriving in the early Middle Ages, considerably later than, for example, the West Slavic ethnic groups. But, more seriously, according to a study on the patterns of historical population movements in Europe, over 4,200 years 891 distinct ethnic units were identified. What is this mysterious autochthon European population? That is, who were the original or indigenous inhabitants? Well, if we want to go all the way back, we might have to say that the first settler in Europe was Homo erectus from Africa or perhaps Homo sapiens, who settled in Europe by 40,000 BCE. Practically all Hungarian media outlets published a summary of the speech, as it was related by the reporter for MTI.Īlthough Kövér covered several topics, the main message he wanted to drive home was the threat the autochthon European population faces as a result of “illegal migration and resettlement, in a devious way, disguised as a refugee issue.” Perfect timing while we are watching with horror what’s going on at the Kabul Airport. Less impressive was Kövér’s speech, which consisted of the usual mad harangue the president of the Hungarian Parliament is known for. Judging from the photos taken at the occasion, it is a very impressive building. He gave a speech following an ecumenical church service at the Fortress Church (Vártemplom), built in the middle of the fourteenth century and remodeled in the eighteenth century. His most recent trip was to Marosvásárhely / Târgu Mureș, as the patron of the cultural festival Vásárhely Bustle, an annual tourist attraction. Five days later, he was in Ukraine’s Transcarpathian region to unveil a bust of Saint Stephen. Slovak Foreign Minister Ivan Korčok wasn’t at all pleased. On August 4, he was in Slovakia unveiling a memorial created to mark the 76 th anniversary of the so-called Beneš decrees, where he referred to Slovakia as the Highlands. One of László Kövér’s favorite pastimes is to visit Hungarian areas of the neighboring countries.
