note that he said this in Szekely land, an ethnic hungarian area right in the heart of Romania

They are supposed to be descendents of Cumans who moved west running from the Mongols

Sorry, I was wrong. There are some other Hungarians supposedly descended from Cumans. The Szekely claim descent from the Huns directly

The pertinent map is this:

What was known as Hungary prior to the Treaty of Trianon simply imploded in 1918. I am not insinuating any irredentism on the part of Orban, but if I were Hungarian I would not be able to shake a feeling that Hungary is called by history to a grander role than what the 20 Century dealt.
