blatant, that they result in death threats for Hungarian leaders on social media. And while these threats are real and the perpetrators are always identified, the state does not prosecute them, thus it creates an atmosphere for the members of the community that can be best described through fear and lack of security. In recent times, the security of people were literally put at risk, when incidents happened where members of the Romanian majority attacked the members of the Hungarian minority due to an atmosphere best described by instigation to hatred and intimidation of the community. The restrictive policies of the state can be recognized also in how the state persecutes the national and regional symbols of the Hungarian community. Community leaders are facing legal consequences, huge fines and prosecution if they refuse to use the symbols of the community. Thus, this lack of trust and cooperation from the state’s part results in a highly charged, divisive and tense atmosphere between the Hungarian and Romanian communities. It is very important to note that, humanitarian crises emerge from political and societal ones, from the lack of understanding and generosity, and the lack of dialogue between communities that become isolated from each other due to restrictive state policies. We kindly ask you to pay attention to the situation of the Hungarian community in Romania, in order to prevent an escalation of an inter-communitarian crisis. Thank you very much!
