According to the main organizer of the Romanian nationalist movements in Úzvölgy, anyone who believes that the court verdicts regarding the military cemetery will be taken into account will be bitterly disappointed.
Mihai Tirnoveanu, the president of the association Calea Neamului, published on the Activenews.ro portal, expressed his opinion on the first-instance verdict handed down by the Bákó County Court on Thursday, according to which the concrete crosses illegally erected in the Úzvölgy military cemetery must be demolished.
Tirnoveanu stated: the monument and the Romanian crosses will only be removed from the cemetery if "the bulldozers make us one with the earth." He expressed his hope that the verdict handed down on Thursday could be overturned by appeal. At the same time, he assured everyone that if this were to fail, the Romanians have solutions for all possible versions.
"If someone thinks that we will take into account the court rulings that transfer the cemetery from one county to another based on the papers issued in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and order the crosses to be taken down, just because someone did not sign where should have, he will be bitterly disappointed," the association leader wrote.
He believed that erecting the crosses of the Romanian plot created in the cemetery did not require a building permit issued "with the ink of officials", "because it was signed in blood". He said that the blood sacrifice of the soldiers cannot be overlooked, that the Romanian courts cannot cancel it, because they themselves owe their existence to it.
"Where is the Romanian dignity and godliness?" Mihai Tirnoveanu addressed the question to the judges.
"If they hit us in the head, we won't even get out of Úzvölgye," he added. He recalled: in 2019, five thousand marched when RMDSZ county leaders wanted to prevent them from entering the cemetery.
"We'll see how many of us there are when the bulldozers are dispatched to tear down the crosses and desecrate the heroes. We will not give up the freedom of being Romanian!
Be ready brothers!” - concluded his opinion piece by the main organizer of the Romanian nationalist movements in Úzvölgy.
The Romanian-language press mostly reported on the judicial annulment of the building permit for the Romanian plot based on MTI's news report. However, it was emphasized in the news reports that the co-chairman of the Association for the Unification of Romanians (AUR), George Simion, gained popularity during the Úzvölgy conflict. According to opinion polls, the anti-vaccination populist party is currently the second most popular political group in Romania.
