Secuii Și Românii : Istoria Unei Neînțelegeri

Bruno Stefan

Abstract

Until 1848 the Romans and Szeklers lived in peace, and the tensions were the basis of the competition between the churches in the area (Orthodox, Catholic, Reformed). The political events in Europe at that time created a nationalism that has radically changed the relations between the inhabitants of Szeklerland. History has been reinterpreted and updated to justify not only territorial claims but also the obligation to hate the other ethnicity. Today, very few leaders see possible friendship between Hungarians and Romans, and their hateful speeches affect the good relationships existing in many communities.
