Demonstration planned for Trianon Day to support evicted Archbishop and Hungarian community

A demonstration is scheduled for Trianon Day to express solidarity with the Hungarian Catholic Archbishop of Nagyvárad (Oradea), who was allegedly evicted unlawfully, and to support the Hungarian community in Romania.

Organizers stated their goal is to show support for the Archbishop, the Catholic Church, and the Hungarian community in Nagyvárad. They also aim to pressure the Hungarian government to take a more decisive stance on the issue. The event is framed as a non-partisan effort, welcoming representatives from all political parties and organizations to foster broad national unity, similar to past protests against the Beneš decrees.

Several Hungarian nationalist and conservative groups have confirmed their participation. These include Mi Hazánk Ifjai (the youth wing of Mi Hazánk), the Bűnvadászok group, and the Hatvannégy Vármegye Ifjúsági Mozgalom (HVIM). These organizations have voiced strong criticism of Romania's actions, labeling them as anti-Hungarian and anti-Christian. The HVIM, in particular, stated that protesting against the injustices caused by the Treaty of Trianon and the persecution of Hungarians in successor states has been a core principle since its founding.

Speakers at the event will include journalists, filmmakers, political representatives from Fidesz–KDNP and Mi Hazánk, and the editor-in-chief of Magyar Jelen. Notably, the Tisza Party declined to participate, stating they had forwarded the request internally, but no politician from the party will speak at the demonstration. The organizers emphasize that the cause transcends political affiliation, focusing instead on national unity and standing up for justice.

A HVIM – Magyar Ellenállás negyedszázaddal ezelőtti alapítása óta tiltakozik a trianoni békediktátum okozta igazságtalanság, valamint az utódállamok területén élő magyarok vegzálása és diszkriminálása ellen. Éppen ezért kötelességünknek tekintjük, hogy részt vegyünk az erősen megkérdőjelezhető – mi több, megbotránkoztató – módon a napokban kilakoltatott nagyváradi magyar premontrei apát mellett szervezett szolidaritási tüntetésen. Elfogadhatatlannak tartjuk, hogy Románia vagy bármely más ország állami szinten űzze a magyar- és keresztényellenességet!
