According to origo.hu, the official representative body of the county government adopted the Szekely/Szekler flag at the meeting held in Zetelaka on Friday.
The Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (RMDSZ), which has a majority in the council, and the Transylvanian Hungarian People’s Party (EMNP) supported the decision, the representatives of the Hungarian Civic Party (MPP) abstained, szekelyhon.ro wrote.
The Romanian councilors, who represent the minority in the decision-making body of the county of Szekelyland, asked that a red oak leaf – as a symbol of the Romanians – to be added to the flag, which contains the Szekely sun-moon symbols and a gold bar on a light-blue background, but their proposal was voted down.
The Szekely flag was already put up in Csikszereda on Friday.
The emblem was there on the façade of the building, but it disappeared two weeks ago without any explanation from the local government leaders – the portal wrote.
Csongor Incze, RMDSZ Vice Chairman of the Harghita County Council said: it is not impossible that the prefect will attack the county decision on the flag. Still, the flag will remain there until that happens.
The representatives found the Szekely flag the most appropriate among 5 different ideas.
