Romanians think that Hungary wants to take control over Transylvania
Change language:
Russia is the most significant security threat, Hungary is the least friendly neighbouring country while the United States is interested in a strong Romania – a recently published survey says.
Romanians afraid of Russia and Hungary
Hungary meddles in the domestic affairs of Romania, and its goal is to take control over Transylvania – this is what the majority of the Romanians think about Budapest’s policy according to INSCOP, an institute of public opinion and research. In fact, INSCOP published its results on Monday and hvg.hu collected the relevant findings.
With the statement “Hungary meddles in the domestic affairs of Romania” 58.2 pc of the Romanians agree while even more, 62.6 pc of them said that Budapest’s goal is to
take control over Transylvania one way or another.
The survey was made between 12 April and 3 May and 64.4 pc of Romanians agreed with the statement “Russia posed and poses the greatest national security threat towards Romania” and 59.2 pc of them would support increasing Bucharest’s defence budget.
Furthermore, Romanians think that Hungary is the least friendly neighbouring country: only 27.1 pc of them would put Budapest into the box of the benign states. In contrast, 78.5 pc of them think that the Republic of Moldova is friendly, 59 pc of them think the same in the case of Bulgaria while these numbers are 50 pc and 40 pc in connection with Serbia and Ukraine. Moreover, the overall impression of the neighbouring countries in Romania is that they are rather friendly states.
The only exception is Hungary
since 61.2 pc of the survey fillers did not agree with the statement that Hungary is a friend of Romania.
The 2/3rd majority of the answerers said that Russia is interested in weakening Romania and this rate is 60 pc in the case of Hungary. In contrast, NATO, the Republic of Moldova, the European Union and the United States is interested in a strong Romania.
Romania the land of illiterates and ignoramuses!
Looks like you could fit perfectly there, you should live there.
The truth is that, although Transylvania’s union with Romania was declared on December 1st, 1918, it only became reality after the 1919 war, when the Romanians won and their military occupied Hungary. In fact the Treaty of Trianon put Hungary back on the map – you guys should celebrate that. Without Trianon there wouldn’t be any Hungary on the European map anymore.
France was a natural supporter of Romania, inasmuch as Germany was a supporter of Austro-Hungary. And since in 1919 Romanian Army has saved Hungary (and Central Europe) from Bolshevism, the French support proved to be well deserved.
Magyars were never a majority of population in Transylvania, by all surveys ever made.
Regards from Bucharest!
So may butthurt Romanians in the comments xd there is no evidence of the Romanians being in Transylvania before the 15th century
