regarding the Grand March of the Szeklers
of 27 October 2013
At its session of 15 October 2013, the Committee on National Cohesion issued the following position statement, in accordance with Section 15(4) of Act XXXVI of 2012 on the National Assembly and Section 96/B of Resolution No. 46/1994 (IX. 30) OGY of the National Assembly:
The Committee on National Cohesion of the Hungarian National Assembly, maintaining its position adopted on 12 March 2013 in celebration of the Day of Szekler Freedom (5/2010-2014. NOB), expresses its support for the Grand March of the Szeklers to be held in the historical region of Háromszék from Bereck (Breţcu) to Kökös (Chichiş) on 27 October 2013, organized by the Szekler National Council in cooperation and agreement with all Hungarian political forces in Transylvania.
We are convinced that our goal for Szeklerland to become an autonomous region is compatible with the European principle of subsidiarity, which is enshrined in many documents of the Council of Europe and applied in numerous Member States of the European Union.
The Committee on National Cohesion of the National Assembly hereby reaffirms its commitment to using all means available to support the autonomy initiatives of Hungarian national communities in neighbouring countries, in conformity with European practice.
Budapest, the 15th of October 2013
