Romania - Nick Thorpe Ethnic Hungarians in Romania's Transylvania region have welcomed the Scottish referendum result. "This will help our striving for autonomy," said the president of the Szekler National Council, which is campaigning for an autonomous Szeklerland - a region in eastern Transylvania comprising largely Hungarian-speaking territory with roots going back to the Middle Ages. Szekler National Council is campaigning for an autonomous region in eastern Transylvania "The world has changed. The Scottish government and parliament will certainly have more autonomy in the future. Romania should learn from this to engage in debate with us, as we are asking for much less than the Scots," Balazs Izsak added. Approximately 800,000 Hungarians live in the two counties of Hargita and Covasna and a part of Mures county. Until the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, the whole of Transylvania was under Hungarian jurisdiction. But Hungarians in Romania today are divided over the autonomy efforts, and Romanians on the whole reject any debate about the possibility. The Democratic Union of Hungarians (UDMR), who form part of the current Romanian government, this week published their own plans for Szekler autonomy, based on the model of Italy's South Tyrol province. Hungarians hold Hungarian and Transylvanian flags as they take part in a demonstration for the autonomy of Transylvanian territory from Romania in Budapest, Hungary on 27 October 2013. Leader Hunor Kelemen stressed the difference between the plan and Scotland's referendum. The number of Hungarians living in Transylvania is falling by about 20,000 each year, and champions of autonomy argue that this is the best way to preserve the Hungarian community. Ethnic Hungarians also fear a new regionalisation plan for Romania, which would administratively divide their region further. |
罗马尼亚 ——尼克•索普(Nick Thorpe) 在罗马尼亚特兰西瓦尼亚(Transylvania)地区的匈牙利族人对苏格兰公投的结果表示欢迎。 “这有助于我们实现自治,”塞克勒人(Szekler)全国委员会的主席说道,该委员会正在寻求在东特兰西瓦尼亚地区实行自治。该地区主要由说匈牙利语的人组成,他们的起源可以追溯至中世纪时期。 塞克勒人全国委员会正在寻求在东特兰西瓦尼亚地区实行自治。 “这个世界已经改变。苏格兰政府与议会在未来肯定会活动更多的自治权。罗马尼亚必须从中学习,与我们进行讨论,我们所要求的要比苏格兰来的少得多。”巴拉日•以萨克(Balazs Izsak)补充道。 约80万的匈牙利人生活在哈尔吉塔县(Hargita)、科瓦斯纳县(Covasna)以及穆列什县(Mures)的部分地区。在1920年特里亚农条约(Treaty of Trianon)之前,整个特兰西瓦尼亚地区都在匈牙利的管辖之下。 如今生活在罗马尼亚的匈牙利对是否争取自治仍存在分歧,而罗马尼亚人拒绝就此事的可能性进行讨论。 在该届政府中占据部分席位的匈牙利人民主联盟(The Democratic Union of Hungarians)在本周出台了他们对塞克勒自治州的计划。该计划以意大利南蒂罗尔省为模板。 领导人胡诺尔•凯莱门(Hunor Kelemen)强调该计划与苏格兰公投之间的不同之处。 生活在特兰西瓦尼亚地区的匈牙利人数量正以每年两万人的速度递减,拥护自治的匈牙利人表示这是保留匈牙利社区最好的办法。 匈牙利人同样担心罗马尼亚新的区域化方案,这会在行政上把他们的地区进行进一步的划分。
