SBH: Perhaps you takke shouldn’t be here? 😉
You misunderstood. That new law, effective Jan. 1, ’11, affects naturalizing as a Hungarian citizen. IOW, if someone isn’t already a citizen, if they shtam from any of the “Greater Hungary” (i.e. Pre-Trianon/WWI, when Hungary was reduced to one third of its original size) areas, where the people lost their Hungarian citizenship under the Trianon Treaty and acquired citizenship of the newly formed states (i.e. Czechoslovakia, Poland, the added areas of Romania, and parts of Yugoslavia), those people can now acquire Hungarian citizenship through the new law you referenced, without having to travel or move to Hungary. Some of the areas affected include Satmar, Munkatch, Ungvar, etc.
People who shtam from the parts of Hungary that are still part of modern day Hungary (i.e. Budapest, Debrecin, etc.) never lost their citizenship. And since Hungarian law grants citizenship to anyone’s who’s father (and by extension father’s father, etc.) was a citizen [and since 1951 to anyone who’s mother was a citizen], therefore they are and always have been citizens. And they can simply claim a passport under their status as a citizen. And they don’t need to know a word of Hungarian.
