Parlt cttee condemns Romanian president's remarks on Hungarian minority

Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee on Monday unanimously adopted a resolution condemning recent "anti-minority" remarks by Romanian President Klaus Iohannis about his country's Hungarian community and affirming its commitment to the cause of autonomy for Szekler Land. Recent remarks by Iohannis about his Romania's Hungarian community could be used to "incite hatred", foreign ministry state secretary Levente Magyar said, noting that Iohannis had recently accused Romania's Social Democrats, who hold the majority of seats in parliament, of "fighting to hand over Transylvania to the Hungarians" as the Romanian government "fights a heroic battle" against the coronavirus epidemic.
