Romanians marched with one hundred and fifty crosses to the Úzvölgy military cemetery As part of the "fight against the demolition" of 52 concrete crosses and monuments erected in the spring of 2019 in the Üzvölgy military cemetery, Romanian nationalist organizations founded the "Brotherhood of the Crosses" on Sunday.

The celebration organized on the occasion of the Day of the Romanian Army was timed to coincide with the commemoration of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Since the violent occupation of the cemetery on June 6, 2019, the mayor's office of Dormánfalva together with various Romanian nationalist organizations and political parties three times a year - at the beginning of June, Heroes' Day, October 25, Army Day, and the Romanian national holiday on December 1 - organizes a large-scale celebration connected with an Orthodox church ceremony in Úzvölgy.

The scenario that has already become routine - the "flagging" of the Great Romania map, children's choirs singing patriotic songs, a torchlight procession, the reading of the names of the soldiers who, according to the Romanians, rest in the cemetery, "Here!" with a shout out to the names - the organizers usually prepare something "special" for the events taking place.

Fraternity of the Crosses This year, together with the mayor's office of Dormánfalv, the nationalist association Calea Neamului, which once again took on the task of main organizer, its leader, Mihai Tîrnoveanu, and the civil movement called Starea de libertate tried to recruit participants from all over the country for the two-day to an event scheduled for October 23rd, before the Romanian Army Day, that it was announced that the "fraternity of crosses for the heroes of the Romanian army who fell in the Úzvölgy battles" focusing on the protection of the monument and the concrete crosses, and the fight against their removal, would be formed.

In addition, A Nép Útja did not forget another extreme rebuke in a social media post,

according to which "Hungary will demand autonomy for the Transylvanian Hungarians as soon as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has ended".

One of the folk singers - provoking cheers - declared, "our past cannot be erased, and our future cannot be taken away: Transylvania will forever remain Romanian land" - referring to Tîrnoveanu's action in Tusvány, as the leader of Nép Útja tried to cause confusion in Orbán with a banner with such an inscription in July Prime Minister Viktor during his speech.

At the end of the commemoration, which lasted into the early evening, the organizers again reminded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and President Klaus Iohannis, as on previous occasions, that if a court decision unfavorable to the Romanians is reached in the case of the Romanian plot of the cemetery, then "they will protect the cemetery even at the cost of their lives". "We are primarily Romanians and only secondarily Europeans," they declared.

2022Plusz: we can safely draw the attention of Nép Útja and other extremists to the fact that the issue of the autonomy of the Transylvanian Hungarians, especially Székelyföld, has been on the agenda for a long time, and that the territory has traditionally had this status throughout history. Even the Stalinist Romanian constitution provided for it in this way. The fact that a serious struggle must now be waged for all this is nonsense, as is the fact that plots with concrete crosses must be created in the Úzvölgy cemetery in honor of the Romanian dead who are believed not to be buried there.
