The Székely flag will continue to be used, the RMDSZ will protect the interests of the Hungarian people, the symbols of the community - declared Barna Tánczos, the senator of the RMDSZ, on Tuesday in response to the scandal-mongering senator Diana Sosoaca's outcry against the display of the Székely flag on Monday by the Romanian Parliament in his upper house.
"Every time our national and community symbols are attacked or the existence of Székelyföld is questioned, a part of the Hungarian community is attacked. When extremist organizations do this in the parliament, the goal is to create ethnic conflict, the intention is to discredit the Hungarian community," Barnát Tánczos was quoted as saying in a statement from the press office of the RMDSZ.
The Hargita county senator stated: the Hungarians' national emblems and community symbols are not the subject of debate: the constitutional right of the Hungarian community to express its identity and live it.
"We will continue to use the flag of Székelyföld, no matter who it bothers, because it is part of our identity. In the parliament and in all forums, we defend the interests of the Hungarian people and our symbols, even when extremist mood-mongers attack us with behavior unworthy of the Senate"
