Supporting the Great Szekler’s March for Autonomy
On October 27, 2013, over 120,000 Szeklers and Hungarians formed a 53 km long human chain in Szeklerland to protest against the planned territorial and administrative reorganization of Romania, which would lead to the accelerated assimilation of Hungarians in Transylvania. On the same day, thousands of people organized solidarity demonstrations in cities throughout the world. The support for Szekely Hungarian autonomy in Transylvania would be a positive step in rectifying 93 years of ethnic discrimination against Hungarian minorities in Romania and Central and Eastern Europe.
