ChristDems, LMP mark Day of Szekler Autonomy
Co-ruling Christian Democrats and opposition LMP marked the Day of Szekler Autonomy on Sunday.
Christian Democrats group leader Istvan SimicskĂł said it was a moral obligation for Hungarians living in the motherland to support ethnic Hungarians in diasporas everywhere in the world. Szeklers are a historical community whose unique traditions have enriched Hungarian culture for many centuries, he said.
“We support their demand for autonomy, the aspirations of a minority proud of its identity to be successful in their place of birth,”
SimicskĂł said.
“Autonomy is a right in the European Union which the Szeklers deserve and it is natural to demand it or even fight for it,” he added.
LMP group leader LászlĂł LĂłránt Keresztes said in a statement that guaranteeing the autonomy and rights of indigenous national minorities was an important European value “worth fighting for together”.
Day of Szekler Autonomy is marked on the last Sunday of every October on a 2016 initative by the Szekler National Council.

Nekünk, mint az anyaországban élőknek erkölcsi kötelességünk,
hogy a diaszpĂłrában Ă©s a szĂłrványban Ă©lĹ‘ magyarságot minden tekintetben segĂtsĂĽk, Ă©ljenek bárhol a világon.
đź‡đź‡ş Egy vĂ©rbĹ‘l valĂłk vagyunk, Mi magyarok! đź‡đź‡ş
One blood Istvan? That’s laughable. Just look at history to see how many waves of immigrants and marauding armies have swept through Hungary leaving their DNA.
