Prime Minister Mihai Tudose on Monday stated that Romania's territorial integrity cannot be subject to negotiations, under any circumstance, and that it should never be acceptable to discuss autonomy of a piece of our country. Upon his arrival to the Social Democratic Party (PSD) headquarters for the National Executive Committee of this party, the head of the Government that he wants to "nuance" a statement that he made last Wednesday and "that he was wrongly taken."
"I firmly maintain my previous stand, as a Romania, that Romania's territorial integrity cannot be subject to negotiations, under any circumstances, not even in amicable terms. You can not talk about the autonomy of one piece of Romania. When I said about flying a flag, I referred to the authorities of the Romanian state, which must apply the law, with their mandates flying like a flag, if they do not observe the law. This is what was all about, and not about hanging politicians," stated Tudose.
On January 10, the head of the Government told Realitatea TV private television broadcaster that the autonomy of the Szekely is not even something that can be discussed, while also commenting on the fact that UDMR, PCM and PPMT asked in a joint resolution signed in Cluj for the territorial autonomy of the Szekely land, as well as for a special status to be granted to the Partium region.
In reply, the UDMR leader, Kelemen Hunor, said he expected Prime Minister Mihai Tudose to apologize for and withdraw his statements related to the territorial autonomy of the Sezekely land, which he considered "absolutely unacceptable."
