sang the Hungarian and then the Székely national anthem together with their rivals on Sunday, in the match against Hungary after, in the Slovenian Division I/A world championship. By the way, it is well known that the Romanian national team consists mostly of players from Székelyföld (Csíki and Győrgyő).
Since the match had nothing to do with it - the Hungarian team will continue among the best next year, and the modestly performing Romanian team was eliminated from this value group - the Bucharest pen-twirlers felt that they should generate a little circus from singing together. By the way, the Hungarian national team won 4-2.
Calling the case outrageous Gsp.ro even provided some background information for those who might not know why they should be outraged: "the so-called Székelyland is an area that includes Kovászna, Hargita County and part of Maros County, whose population is of Hungarian ethnicity wants autonomy”. Based on the sports papers, practically the entire Romanian media also covered the story.
The Hungarian-phobic Dan Tanasă was also caught by the story, of course, the AUR parliamentarian was caught this time because he spotted the Minister of Environmental Protection Barna Tánczos in the audience, who, according to him, was watching the match among the fans of the Hungarian national team wearing the jersey of the Csikszereda hockey team. "This figure is a member of the Romanian and not the Hungarian government, he receives his salary from the Romanian state. He insulted the Romanian nation with his behavior," notes the champion representative in his post.
By the way, this is not the first time the Romanian sports press has beaten out the decorum hysteria on the subject: in 2017, for example that's why they got stuck, that a part of the Romanian national team celebrated winning the Division 2/A World Championship corresponding to the fourth line in South Korea by singing the Székely national anthem.
