Hand: Polish – Hungarian..., what do we have in common with Hungary?

myslpolska.info 3 months ago

We may have worked with Hungary in any cases in history, but mostly without specified exaltatant infantilism as has been manifested in fresh years. And since the love of Poles for Hungarians is so sincere and unconditional, it should endure any truth.

Furora has late made a repeated post: “We had kings together, we had past together, we loved each another as nations. Hungarians have never done anything against Poles. present Polish-Hungarian relationship Dayj. So let's take this off as components.

Lengyel, Magyar két jó rival!

The absence of Polish-Hungarian wars is simply a myth, Hungarians invaded us in 1410, supporting the Teutonic Knights, and if individual explained that Hungarians innocent, due to the fact that it Sigismund Luxembourg, it was from 1471 to 1474 that we waged a regular war with Hungarian Hungarians, the favourite king of the Madzers, Maciej Korwin. Even supposedly idyllic periods of Polish-Hungarian relationship are fiction. Simply, united and strong Hungary since the 13th century considered weak and divided Poland to be its sphere of influence, for which they competed with the Czech Republic and the imperial empire itself. Known Hungarian aid for Władysława Elbow In the early 14th century, it was a specified rivalry with Thoughts. Ah, the common kings. specified as Louis Andegawenskiseeking to reverse the policy effects Casimir the Great, detaching the Halicka Rus from the Polish Crown and joining it in the Land of the Crown of St. Stefan?

Hungarians in Warsaw

“The Hungarians have never done anything against Poles”? I mean, apart from the agreement with Bohdan Chmielnickiwho, as part of the Protestant global movement, wanted to make the painted king of Poland George II of Cancer, which led to the partition treaty of the Republic signed in December 1656 in Rednot and the acquisition of Warsaw by Hungarians cooperating with Swedes Charles Gustav A fewer months later? No 1 truly read. Flood, only everyone watched? From whom was fresh Kmicic at the end of the shooting and death close?

Against Triism

‘Hungary and Poland have always had common interests’ - Really? besides in the realities of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, in which Hungarians consistently opposed triism and demanded the utmost cooperation between Vienna and Buda and Berlin? The pro-Prussian line was represented by all another Hungarian premieres, starting with Gyuli AndrássyWhich yet led to C.K. Monarchy to the grave. As part of the afterlife, Hungarians, in turn, were the main opponents of the interwar period of the Versailles order (obviously with peculiar reasons), while the II of Poland was equally clearly curious in keeping this order, in any case within its own borders (again or rightly, not besides long and besides advanced a price).

Collective Labrador

I besides assure you that for decades Hungarians were alternatively embarrassed by the constant repetition of the childish poem about nephews by visiting Polish tourists, inactive in 1980s arriving over Balaton to sale crystals. The phrase was not so much due even to the periodic diplomatic loneliness of Hungary as through exhaustion, Poles behave like a collective labrador in specified situationsIt's just hard to drive distant erstwhile you're so tickled and drooling. In the meantime, let us not join Hungarians, just consider whether and what we could accomplish together in the mutual, but above all our own interests. Otherwise we will find ourselves in the situation of Dzidziusz Górkiewicz, who, erstwhile asked what has to do with Hungary, sighed realistically: “A common frontier, an eternal relationship and a wife...”.

Joint case: Budapest – Warsaw?

The apparent thought would be to block the takeover by the Brussels superstate (which does not request to be created, due to the fact that it has long existed) of the EU associate states. Polish and Hungarian interests are convergent in this respect, but our limitations are besides similar. For Hungary, too, Germany and not the USA are the largest economical partner, accounting for 1⁄4 Hungarian global trade turnover. German capital dominates Hungary (like German language in tourism), and the tiny interior market, with taxation burdens passed on to consumers and the highest VAT (27%) in Europe, but with linear income taxation (15%) and low CIT (9%) does not make its own strength capable of competing with German dominance. Hungary, however, has a higher share of China in its abroad trade than the 3rd Poland, which paradoxically binds them more to Europe, not the US, despite the demonstrational improvement of political relations Donald Trump and Viktor Orbán. Yes, Budapest's attitude towards the Ukrainian conflict seems to be in line with the fresh change in Washington's tactics, but the question is, what could be the substance if a final choice was made between the US and the EU (with China and Russia in the background)?

Escapism

Indeed, for Hungary and for the III Republic, the shock of possible -EXIT from the EU would be economically damaging, However, Hungarians would at least not go into political vacuum, having a much better relation with the US than the 3rd Polish Republic, or could put economical account and wider openness to cooperation with China – nevertheless could not choose both solutions simultaneously. It is besides not essential to add that in the current political configuration of the III Polish Republic does not even approach akin geopolitical and geo-economic dilemmas. All the more so as Hungary does not have a burden on its economic/energy relations with Russia, yet again – to be full exploited in European policy. In fact, we are suffocating together in the EU, together we are part of a large German economical area, but the Hungarians have possibly left themselves theoretical, but there is area for manoeuvre and, in any case, for self-esteem. Poles were not left with specified opportunities, but we could not ask for them.

It is this difference in situation, the different pace of global relations, that inability on the Polish side to even consider not alternatives, but probable scenarios, that our sticking to Hungarians is pure escapism. We don't realize anything about geopolitics, past hurts us forever and surprises us, so at least the love of nephews must be constant!
