"Have they decided that we are no more?! Such actions not only offend our community, but also the diverse history of Medgyes," the party organization wrote on Facebook. "This is just the beginning. What's next? Our schools, our mother tongue, our culture? We can prevent it now. Let's protect our community on December 1!" - they added, encouraging them to participate in Sunday's parliamentary elections.
Benedek Zakariás, the vice-president of the county party organization, told the news portal Maszol.ro that a complaint had already been filed in the case. The politician said: he did not believe that the incident was related to the elections. "There are such people", he added, the last time, for example, the perpetrators were the passengers of a car with a Moldovan license plate.
Csaba Orosz, the Szeben county president of RMDSZ, told MTI at the time that they were very shocked by the incident, because in the former Saxon city coexistence between the majority and minorities is good.
About twenty years ago, at the intervention of the RMDSZ, the trilingual locality name board was displayed at the entrances of the city, which has a Hungarian population of just over 6 percent, despite the fact that neither the Hungarian nor the currently 1 percent German minority did not reach the 20 percent required by the Romanian Public Administration Act. percentage threshold for native language use.
In Medgyes, which has a population of nearly 40,000, 2,514 people declared themselves Hungarian in the last census.
