The Sixty-Four Counties Youth Movement (Hungarian: Hatvannégy Vármegye Ifjúsági Mozgalom, HVIM) is a far-right[1] movement in Hungary advocating for the unification of all ethnic Hungarians that live outside of Hungary and the revision of Trianon Treaty from 1920, which defined the current borders of the Hungarian state. Until 2013 the leader of the 64 Counties Youth Movement was László Toroczkai.[2]

It is named in memory of Greater Hungary, which was divided into 64 counties[3] Though it is an anachronism, because the Kingdom of Hungary had only 63 counties.

On December 1, 2015, István Beke, a member of HVIM was arrested by the Romanian authorities for trying to start a bomb attack in Târgu Secuiesc during the Great Union Day, police claimed.[4][5][6] HVIM Leader has denied the charges that Beke is a terrorist.[citation needed]
