The marches on 55 km long — with people waving Székely and Hungarian flags, singing and riding horses and carriages — were held yesterday in 14 communities of Transylvania, including the town of Kézdivásárhely (Targu Secuiesc).
In the Hungarian capital, Budapest thousands marched to the Romanian Embassy carrying a sign reading “Territorial autonomy for Szeklerland” referring to the stretches of Romania where ethnic Hungarians are concentrated.
There were rallies held in the Hungarian cities of Debrecen, Keszthely, Sárospatak and Szolnok. In addition, rallies were in London, Vienna, Brussels, Helsinki, Berlin, Stockholm, Pozsony (Bratislava), Stuttgart, Halmstad, Sweden, Zurich and Topolya (Serbia). Rallies were held overseas, in Australia, in US cities (Washington, Los Angeles, New York), Canadian cities (Toronto and Ottawa).
