New conflict on the horizon between Romania and Hungary? – video

Change language:

Those Romanian nationalists who brutally attacked Hungarians including women and children trying to protect the gate of the cemetery in Dărmănești/Dormánfalva (Romania) in June were decorated by the local mayor last week.

A few hundred people were celebrating the Romanian Armed Forces Day organised by the Dărmănești mayor’s office and Romanian nationalist associations. According to itthon.ma, they read the names of those Romanian soldiers whose graves are allegedly in the military cemetery of the Austro-Hungarian soldiers. The organisers transported a lot of people to Dărmănești to show how many supporters they have.

As we reported before, on June 6, Romanian nationalists aiming to inaugurate an illegally erected memorial in the WWII cemetery of Úz Valley attacked Hungarians protecting the cemetery’s entrance. The Romanian government claimed then that nothing violent happened while

Many thought then in Transylvania that the incident is very similar to what happened in the Black March of 1990 in Marosvásárhely/Târgu Mureș when Romanian nationalists attacked Hungarian civilians demonstrating peacefully for the rights of the Hungarian ethnic community living in Transylvania.

  1. LoL. Typical Hungarian propaganda. It is the exact opposite as stated in this post.
    The cemetery in question is Romanian which the hungarian minority profaned .
    We romanians have respect for the dead, you’ll never see romanians profane cemeteries or changing the names on the grave stones to look Hungarian in an attempt to change the history of the land.. Its typical Hungarian nationalist behaviour who are mad about TRIANON.
    This is part of the reason why Hungarians do not get alone with their neighbors. They refuse to reflect that in their conquest for a greater Hungary they’ve abused all their neighbors. Cheers
