Székely autonomy movement

The Székely Land (Szeklerland) is a historic and ethnographic region in Eastern Transylvania, in the center of Romania.

[4] A Székely Land-based organization, the Szekler National Council held a peaceful demonstration in Odorheiu Secuiesc on March 15, 2006, in favor of autonomy[5] where 4,000[6] to 10,000[7] people took part.

Băsescu declared that the Romanian administrative system should be more decentralized, but only in a symmetrical way, with no more autonomy given to the Székely Land than to any other region in Romania.

Băsescu pointed out that the situation of the Székely in Romania is in full compliance with the standards of the European Union.

[18][19] In December 2019, two deputies of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians submitted a draft legislation favoring the autonomy of Székely Land.

[20] It was tacitly adopted by the Chamber of Deputies (the lower house of the Parliament of Romania), where the Social Democratic Party (PSD) held most seats, on 28 April 2020.

[25][26][27][28] In the end, Iohannis was fined RON 5,000 by the National Council for Combating Discrimination,[29] but this was annulled by the High Court of Cassation and Justice.

[36] Territorial autonomy for the Székely Land was supported by the former People's Action party, headed by former president Emil Constantinescu.

It is a violation of the Constitution of this country, which guarantees, from the first paragraph, the unity and indivisibility of the Romanian state "[40] 7 days later, Tudose was forced to resign from his position, partly due to the comments and infighting and lack of confidence via his party.
