The political transformation that started at the end of the 80s required the newly elected governments of both Central and Eastern Europe to modify and – in some cases – even develop from scratch legal regulations allowing for a proper functioning of such countries in a completely new political reality. By starting with the presentation of the political Trianon discourse in the inter-war and people’s democracy periods, the author is going to analyze the attempts of the very first Hungarian government (led by the Hungarian Democratic Forum between 1990 and 1994) after the political transformation that aimed at regulating the legal status of diaspora living in countries neighboring with Hungary.
