KYIV – This week members of the Party of Hungarians walked out of the inaugural session of the newly elected Zakarpattia regional council in Uzhhorod over what they called political persecution.
By doing so, they abstained from voting for a council head in the westernmost Ukrainian oblast where some 80 percent of the 150,000 ethnic Hungarians live in the country.
It was the latest flare up of tension between Ukraine and Hungary, the latter of which took issue with a raid on a Hungarian charity in the region late last month by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
The counterintelligence agency said on its website that the raid on the Hungarian Cultural Association in Transcarpathia was part of several investigations in the region related to “information about the involvement of foreign funding in activities aimed at violating the state sovereignty of Ukraine.”
