Threatening message on the national holiday

The editorial office of karpatalja.ma received a peculiar greeting letter on August 20.

The sender of the letter refers to himself as a Ukrainian patriot and nothing else is known about him.

The text states that if the Hungarian community wants to continue to live safely on Ukrainian soil, it must stop creating a national enclave. Special mention was made of the administrative reforms in the Berehove district.

„You managed to bribe the Ukrainian government, but the Ukrainian patriots see clearly,” they write. – “We will start sabotaging and launching attacks against your towns, villages and schools until the ideology of creating a Hungarian district ceases.

Your safety is in your hands. If you want to minimize the number of victims among the Hungarian population, urgent measures must be taken to put an end to anti-Ukrainian initiatives in Transcarpathia as soon as possible – the ‘Ukrainian patriot’ concludes his threatening letter.

The addressees of the letter also include the Berehove Town Council, the Consulate of Hungary in Berehove, the Consulate General of Hungary in Uzhhorod, the Hungarian Democratic Union of Ukraine and the Hungarian Cultural Association of Transcarpathia.

Reminder: there had been bomb alarms in three churches in the region.
