According to the president of EMI, the police is investigating in the usage of xenophobe symbols.
„This is an intimidation attempt from the Romanian authorities
from which the organisation is not frightened and Péter Szűcs refused to identify anyone. The existence of historical Hungary is an indisputable fact and the Árpád-striped flag is only as xenophobic as the flag of the US.” – Sorbán reacted to the standpoint of the Romanian police.
The EMI president has warned the authorities to cease the harassment of the Hungarian communities.
They had enough observers during the summer camp in Gyergyószentmiklós who could have seen that there were no anti-Romanian activities. Sorbán said that those who are harassed or interrogated by the Romanian authorities should feel free to contact EMI or Szekler Observer Foundation (Székely Figyelő Alapítvány) because they can provide every necessary legal help for the concerned.
