Hanko: Government bears responsibility for fate of Hungarian communities beyond the border
Hungary's government bears responsibility for the fate of Hungarian communities beyond the border, Balazs Hanko, the minister of culture and innovation, said on Saturday in Odorheiu Secuiesc (Szekelyudvarhely), where he inaugurated a new building of a Reformed Church school.
Its aim is to foster the survival and development of these communities and nurture the intellectual and spiritual unity of the nation, he said.
At the opening of the school year of the Romanian Reformed schools in the city of Szekler Land (Szekelyfold), Hanko said Hungarians in the motherland and beyond were part of a nation “that has stood proudly in central Europe for more than a thousand years”. The nation parts were linked by “a common history and culture”, and they would also “build the future together”.
Kelemen Hunor, the leader of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (RMDSZ), also attended the ceremony.
