The House of Representatives in Bucharest voted on the bill on Wednesday, which

Declares June 4 to be “Trianon Treaty Day” in Romania.

According to the draft cited by MTI, “events that promote the importance of the historical event” will be held on this day and the national flag must be raised at the national level.

In his speech during the debate on the draft in the House of Representatives, Hunor Kelemen, president of the Hungarian Democratic Alliance of Romania (DAHR), assessed that this was a completely useless law and that it was part of the anti-Hungarian competition. pretext. In a speech with many instructive thoughts (which can be read here in the Transindex description), Clemente urged Members to

We should be concerned with a future that gives everyone hope that tomorrow can be better in every way than yesterday. The Trianon bill does not change either the past or the understanding of the past, but it does not nurture the hope that the medium and long-term future will be different, better, more secure, less uncertain than yesterday.

And he noted that with the decision, which is otherwise “a great loss” and a “cause of sadness” from the Hungarian point of view,

Romania has become rich not only with the territory of Transylvania, but also with us, along with our cultural heritage and our past.

Referring to the national policy debates of the past few weeks (years, decades, centuries), he stated:

A strong, confident, and innocent majority never flaunt their power, deliberately creating situations where the other feels humiliated.

The Trianon Act was voted 235 to 21, with 25 abstentions, and its entry into force only requires the signature of Klaus Iohannis, the head of state who has actually been campaigning against the Hungarians in recent weeks.
