”I am asking mister Frunda to ask his chief, the prime minister of Romania, to instruct the Covasna county prefect to leave the Hungarians alone. What the prefects do, qualifies himself also. (…) or else, in the szekely region could happen what happened in march 1990 at Târgu Mureș” said Antal Arpad, according to the official translation.
In March 1990 in Târgu Mureș a violent ethinc conflict erupted between Romanians and ethnic Hungarians (details here). A few years ago Antal Arpad said that Romanians in the so-called szekely regions could face the same destiny as ethnic Serbs in Kosovo if the Hungarians in Romania are not granted teritorial authonomy by the Romanian government (audio file here).
This article is the translation of this Romanian version.
"Din zei de-am fi scoborâtori,
C-o moarte tot suntem datori!
Totuna e dac-ai murit
Flăcău ori moș îngârbovit;
Dar nu-i totuna leu să mori
Ori câine-nlănțuit."
