To the Parliament of Romania and the Government of Romania, concerning the future administrative-territorial affiliation of the 149 local authorities forming the historical region of Szeklerland
We, the undersigned citizens, elected local representatives and representatives of civil society from the local authorities located within the territory of the historical and cultural region of Szeklerland (hereinafter referred to as “Szeklerland”), address the Parliament of Romania and the Government of Romania with the request that they take into account the clearly expressed will of the communities referred to above, as represented by the signatories of this petition.
Esteemed Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Radu Cristescu, a Member of the Romanian Parliament from the governing party, made inadmissible statements in his speech that were contrary to Romania’s membership of the European Union and, in our view, go against Romania’s foreign policy.
Today, on the 25th of October, on the Day of Szekler Autonomy we Szeklers – together with other communities standing in solidarity with us – convene in order to repeatedly assert our demand for the territorial autonomy of Szeklerland.
The magnitude of this demand, which is based on international law, is larger this year than it was a year ago. The European citizens’ initiative of the Szekler National Council has received over one and a quarter of a million supporting signatures across Europe. The population of our kin-state, Hungary, is fully united behind the initiative, together with other Hungarian minority communities. The signature collection process, which is still open, attracts more- and more supporters from Spain, mainly Catalans, and Basques, and the numbers of supporting signatures are also going up in Sweden, thanks to the Sami communities, and the local Hungarian diaspora.
Dear Mr. President!
On 14 May, we asked you to examine the video message of Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis, in which he incited against Hungarians, and to withdraw the decision to award him the Charlemagne Prize, as the Romanian President has proven unworthy of this award.
