All Hungarian citizens have until June 20 to vote on whether they are for or against Ukraine joining the EU.

That is a big misrepresentation of what this really is about. This is not a referendum, it's basically a no-rules no-legal-consequences poll the government is doing.

FWIW the opposition who at this point has more support than the government party did the same, and their results show 60%+ for Ukraine joining, and a lot of people who said no were more like "only if they satisfy requirements we all had to".

Hungary is not a country where everyone hates Ukrainians, it's barely controversial and that's because of a small loud minority.
