"We can only welcome the fact that the European Parliament hosted today’s debate, as democracy itself and the rule of law have become endangered in Romania in the past few months. One of the reasons why we, the Hungarians of Transylvania, consider the attention of the EU and Parliament to be important is that the post-communist Romanian Government broke a record in anti-Hungarian measures, launching a series of attacks against our minority institutions. Its series of hostile attacks began with its action against the Hungarian faculty at the Târgu Mureș University of Medicine and Pharmacy, in connection with which President Traian Băsescu rightly said that it is a fundamental right for a minority to have access to education in its native language at a university that is obliged to provide native language education for minorities. The series continued, among other acts, with an arbitrary attempt to re-nationalise the Székely Mikó Reformed College, which had been confiscated during communism and was later returned through restitution to its rightful owner, the Hungarian Reformed Church. Despite all this, we can ultimately conclude with satisfaction that ‘one way or the other, the Romanian institutions are resisting political pressure, and have managed to stay true to their mission as far as the Constitutional Court, the Chief Prosecutor’s Office and the Anticorruption Prosecution Office are concerned’ (Traian Băsescu). One of the reasons why the Ponta–Antonescu Government has launched a campaign of retribution against us is that the Hungarian community refused to support its unlawful and unconstitutional policy, namely the coup-like removal of President Traian Băsescu. In conclusion, I would like to ask Parliament and the Commission to continue to monitor the situation in Romania and the fate of the Hungarian minority."@en1
