“It was not possible to eradicate Hungarians over the past thousand years, nor it will be in the next,” the speaker of Hungarian parliament said at the second Pilgrimage of Burzenland and Transylvanian Saxon Csango Hungarians in Purcareni (Purkerec), in central Romania, on Saturday.
In his address in the Csángó Hungarian village, László Kövér spoke of efforts on numerous occasions in history to eliminate the Hungarian nation. “Although at the cost of enormous sacrifices, suffering and losses, the power of belonging together in Hungarians still proved to be stronger than the power of forces that wanted to tear them apart,” Kövér told the pilgrims, MTI wrote.
Speaking to public media, he said his participation at the event aimed to send the message that the Csango community of Burzenland were “reckoned with” by Hungary and of all Hungarians and that it had a future. Hunor Kelemen, leader of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (RMDSZ), said Transylvanian Hungarians had recently been under strong pressure to declare where they belong. “We belong here, we have a nation and a country. We have a country and a homeland,” he said.
Attending the event, Beschea Severius-Florin, the Romanian mayor of Tarlungeni commune in Brasov County, greeted the Burzenland Csangos and stated his support to them.

The histrionic statements made by Fidesz politicians should be taken with caution. They are designed to pull the strings on the populace. Nationalism pushed too far is the root of xenophobia, hate, and ultimately violence to outsiders and minorities. Nationalism is also used to distract the public from the failings of government. The most important question was asked by Ronald Reagan when he ran against Jimmy Carter and it was “Are you better off than you were four years ago.” That is the test of any government. Don’t let them distract you from that important question and always hold the government accountable for circumstances.
If you read his speeches it is possible to conclude that Kover Laszlo may have psychiatric issues. He was going on about “Satanic forces” etc. He definitely should not hold office anywhere.
Only the Hungarians can eradicate the Hungarians, and they are doing a pretty good job by themselves. Hungary is losing about 90,000 people each year due to high death rate, low birth rate and emigration. At the current rate Hungary may only have about 6,000,000 people left by 2050. Poor diplomacy and bad relations with its neighbors, the EU, NATO and the US does not help either.
Might I suggest to László Kövér, that his statement is highly inflammatory, epecially in light of the fact that he made it in another country where our ethnic Hungarian population live in relative peace and harmony.
He is in fact inferring that “someone” is trying to “eradicate” (us) Hungarians. Seeing that he was publicly stating that in Romania, it can therefore be concluded that he is inferring that it’s the Romanians who are trying to “eradicate” Hungarians. Does Kövér even THINK about the statement he makes?
If I were a Hungarian living in Romania, I’d be ashamed of someone making inflammatory statements like that where I lived.
