Following the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania’s presentation of a bill on autonomy for the Székely Land in eastern Transylvania in mid-September, Adevărul publishes a study suggesting few Hungarians are capable of defining what autonomy would look like or how it would benefit them.
Some believe it would bring them more money. Others consider that greater autonomy would be a “mistake”, judging “it is not possible to do that in the middle of a country.”
The bill, presented ahead of the Romanian presidential election of 2 November, proposes to make Hungarian the official language of the region, which the paper notes would be unconstitutional.
