Paper distributed in the Bucharest National Theatre: East Hungary belongs to Romania!
The celebration of World Theatre Day has ended in disaster in Romania when the staff of the Bucharest National Theatre found out that an extremist group distributed their propaganda newspapers during the theatre’s event on Sunday.
Digi24, a Romanian independent news station has reported the announcement of the Romanian Minister of Culture, Lucian Romașcanu:
“The management of the Bucharest National Theater will launch an internal investigation and file a complaint with the police for unauthorised distribution of materials inside the theatre, after a publication – denounced as extremist propaganda – was distributed to the public at the Studio Hall of the institution”.
The distributed extremist publication is one of Certitudinea’s (Certainty). According to Főtér, the extremist group believes that their “spiritual and moral coordinator” is Mihai Eminescu, a Romantic poet from Moldavia who is also regarded to be the most influential poet in Romania.
He also had conservative nationalistic views and so, he frequently became idolised by right-wing groups in Romania, the news site commented.
The newspaper that was distributed on World Theatre Day featured a “Greater Romania” on its header; which historically did not exist.
This so-called “Greater Romania” printed on the header would include territories such as Moldova, but some parts of Ukraine, not to mention that they drew the Hungarian-Romanian border at the river Tisza.
Főtér reports that the writings in the publication included plainly extremist views such as that the fight against antisemitism is a tool that serves the “subjugation” of Romanians.
In some other articles, they compared the European Union to Soviet concentration camps aka gulags, but they also wrote racist content about the Romas and that the existence of Erdélyi Római Katolikus Státus, a municipality of the Roman Catholic Church in Transylvania, is “threatening for the sovereignty of Romania”, the news portal writes.
Distributing the publication might have taken place at the theatre, because one of the performing actors, Dan Puric, a knowingly far-right activist, is also present among the names associated with the propaganda paper.
