Romanian Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca, other politicians and Romanian media outlets have protested against remarks of a Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland) politician targeting an ethnic Hungarian journalist living and working in Romania.
Last week, at an event in Sfantu Gheorghe (Sepsiszentgyörgy), Barna Bartha said of Boróka Parászka, a journalist of public broadcaster Targu Mures Radio: “If Hungarians can’t hang these people, if they can’t eliminate them, then it’s no wonder we are where we are.” He went on to make anti-Semitic and anti-Roma remarks.
Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca and Deputy Prime Minister Hunor Kelemen, head of the ethnic Hungarian RMDSZ party, condemned the statement on Facebook. “Freedom of opinion for journalists is a basic requirement of the rule of law, and a fundamental value in any democracy. I call on the relevant institutions of the state to … protect journalists and hold those inciting to hatred and discrimination accountable,” Ciuca said.

I’d like to see Barna Bartha hung by his balls! Ooops, I didn’t say that, it’s just the woman in me coming out against a chauvinist racist pig.
…Sadly, I just wasted a few minutes of my precious time on a louse who should never have been given any “air-time” at all.
Ps. This should’ve been the opportunity for Katalin Novak and Judit Varga to shame that pig on behalf of all Hungarian women, all Hungarians.
