Criminal proceedings for inciting hatred or discrimination are underway in connection with the commemoration organized by nationalist Romanian organizations in the Úzvölgy military cemetery in October, at which the Hungarians were sent to Mongolia.
The Hargita county police headquarters initiated criminal proceedings in connection with the commemoration held at the Úzvölgy military cemetery on October 22, specifically because of the harsh anti-Hungarian outbursts that took place there. Memorable: the nationalist organizations The Way of the Nation (Calea Neamului) and the Orthodox Brotherhood (Frăția Ortodoxă) organized a parade on the occasion of the Romanian Army Day (October 25) in the cemetery on the border of Bákó and Hargita counties. The Mihai Târnoveanu people organized a rally on the grounds that, in their opinion, "Hungarian political organizations are exerting enormous pressure" on the authorities in order to remove the new crosses they had erected.
The participants also unfurled a banner with the inscription "Hungarians, go back to Mongolia, where you came from", on which it was also written: "Hungary is not on the map of Europe".
In addition, there was an incoherent and incorrect Romanian text on it, which can be interpreted in Hungarian as follows: "The barbarian Hungarians came to our regions with the intention of robbery in 1290. After that, the Mongol-Hungarians also brought their families here".

After the openly anti-Hungarian event, Krónika wrote to the police and the gendarmerie, asking if they had experienced any illegality at the event of the Romanian organizations, and if so, what measures had been taken, and if any punishment had been imposed.
They have not yet received an answer from the gendarmerie, but the Hargita county police headquarters told the Krónika that criminal proceedings were initiated for inciting hatred or discrimination in connection with the commemoration held in the Úzvölgy cemetery in October.
According to the answer written by police agent and spokesperson Maria Plumbu, the criminal prosecution will be ordered by the prosecutor's office and will be carried out by police officers appointed by the county police headquarters.
The procedure is conducted under the supervision of the competent prosecutor. Otherwise, Article 369 of the Romanian Penal Code (Btk.) states that anyone who publicly, by any means, incites violence, hatred or discrimination against a certain group or person because of racial, national, ethnic , belongs to a certain group based on language, religion, sexual orientation, political position, age, non-infectious chronic disease or social origin.
Following the anti-Hungarian outcry of Romanian nationalist organizations a week and a half ago, RMDSZ president Kelemen Hunor urged decisive action on the part of the authorities and state institutions.
Regarding the lack of official accountability, he explained that there are two conclusions in this regard: either that the state institutions are weak or that they are accomplices in this story. The politician called it unacceptable that while the Hungarian community is being sent back to Asia, the leaders who play a decisive role in Romanian politics do not condemn what happened.
Two days after the Úzvölgy incident, the parliamentary state secretary of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade met with the Romanian ambassador in Budapest, who, according to the ministry, promised to take action against the scandalous events.
"The behavior and actions of the Romanian extremists are incompatible with the norms of civilization, and it is unacceptable for Hungary that the Romanian authorities are only passive observers of these disgraceful events, despite the fact that a final court verdict was issued in the summer, on the basis of which the illegally placed concrete crosses had to be removed" - State Secretary Levente Magyar announced.
Incidentally, Mihai Tîrnoveanu, reacting to all this, recently called it outrageous that the Romanian ambassador in Budapest promised to take action in connection with what happened in the Úzvölgy cemetery, expressing his hope that the news reports about it are based on "mistranslation".
In a video posted on his social media page, the leader of the ultra-nationalist Nemzet Útja accuses the Hungarian government of "exerting political pressure" on the Romanian authorities in order to hold the Romanian nationalists accountable and to remove the wooden crosses they placed in Úzvölgy.
"Satanists, leave the crosses alone! What's wrong with them? If someone dares to lay their hands on the 150 wooden crosses, we will return them all, I guarantee that! Today they tear it down, we make new ones and put everything back in place. We are protesting in Csíkszereda, Csíkszentmárton, so that the Hungarians get used to the Romanian flag, which was stolen from the cemetery," said Tîrnoveanu in the video message. Here he alluded to the fact that on October 22, he and his followers hoisted the Romanian tricolor in the cemetery on the flagpole on which the Hungarian flag used to fly.
In connection with what happened, Csíkszentmárton mayor Birtalan Sándor Birtalan told Székelyhon that the Romanian tricolor will be removed, as the Hungarian flag was also taken down after a commemoration in August, because according to the cemetery regulations adopted by the local government, the flag is only flown on the pole during commemorations and celebrations. , permanently not.
Anyway, this is not the first time that proceedings have been initiated against the Tîrnoveanu family due to the Úzvölgy rioting.
Also in July of this year, based on data obtained from the Hargita county police headquarters, the Krónika disclosed that the Csikszereda court prosecutor's office is conducting criminal proceedings on suspicion of vandalism and grave desecration due to the crucifixion carried out by the members of Nemzet Útja in the Úzvölgy military cemetery on July 8. At that time, supporters of the Romanian organization Calea Neamului set up 150 wooden crosses in the cemetery on the border of Hargita and Bákó counties, in place of the concrete crosses that were removed on June 29 - previously also planted there by the Tîrnoveanu family. There is no information yet on the outcome of the prosecution process.
