Parliamentary Speaker Kover says Hungary will never be disloyal to Szeklers

(MTI) – Hungary will no longer be disloyal to Szeklers and will never again turn against the nation, Parliamentary Speaker Laszlo Kover said on Tuesday at the 250th anniversary of the massacre of Madefalva (now Siculeni in Romania).

Kover told a memorial event held at the site of a mass murder committed against Szeklers by the Habsburg army in 1764 that the memory of Szekler refugees who fled after the massacre “obliges us not to trust our affairs to disloyal leaders ever again.”

It must not be allowed that “others decide about us, but without us, in Bucharest, Budapest or Brussels,” he said adding that he was speaking on behalf of the Hungarian state leaders elected in 2010.

The lesson of history is that “if the leaders of the Szeklers are disloyal to their people and the Hungarian state leaders are disloyal to the Szeklers, then more and more Madefalva massacres are on the way,” he said.
