Szekler Land

Autonomy for Szekler Land! The Szeklers or Seklers are a special group of Hungarians. Most of them live in one ethnic block on a territory of about 10.000 square kilometers called Székelyföld or Seklerland, located in Tansilvania, Romania. Currently, it is populated by 808.739 people, of whom 609.249 (75.33%) are Székelys and 175.787 (21.73%) are Romanians. We, the Hungarians, having always constituted the vast majority here, are devoted to our centuries-old autonomy traditions. The first official reference to the Székely regions autonomy dates back to the year 1200 in the written documents. This autonomy was in effect throughout most of our history, but has not been recognized since Transilvania became part of Romania following word war I. In 2003, the local Székely communities established the Székely National Council, which declared an unanimous demand for Székely autonomy. The Székely National Councils delegates, turned to the Romanian Parliament, the European Council and the European Parliament asking them to consider our claim for territorial autonomy that is in accordance with the European states practice and with the regulations of the international documents protecting the national communities identity. We request the Romanian Parliament and Government, the countrys political powers, the representatives of the civil sphere and the countrys historical churches to consider and support our just claims with all democratic means. The Székelyland has the right to be acknowledged in the integration process as an autonomous region, its citizens to become the citizens of a united Europe with full and real equality. The autonomy of the Székelyland does not affect Romanias territorial integrity and national sovereignty. The regional self-governing is in accordance with the principle of self-determination of national communities within a state. We are convinced that Székelyland Autonomy, the recognition of the additional authority serves the protection of the Hungarian national communitys life in the self-governing regions.We ask the European Union member countries and the European Parliament members to support the Székelyland, the Székely communitys efforts for autonomy, and request that it be a condition for Romanias integration into the European Union. The Székelyland has the right to be acknowledged in the integration process as an autonomous euro-region, its citizens to become the citizens of a united Europe with real and total equality before the law.
