The decision to reintroduce the legislative proposal for "Szeklerland" was made within the National Council of AMT, in Cristuru Secuiesc. The president of AMT, Zoltán Zakariás, emphasized that the main goal is to ensure a broad social dialogue regarding the Hungarian community's desire for self-determination. This initiative arises in a sensitive economic context, where administrative-territorial changes could have significant effects. AMT believes that careful preparation is crucial to avoid negative impacts on the community.
The previous project was rejected in December 2023, but AMT remains dedicated to the autonomy of the community. Unlike UDMR, which has avoided such initiatives, AMT aims to revitalize discussions about the status of "Szeklerland," suggesting that current economic challenges could facilitate a constructive debate. This return to Parliament underscores the importance of continuing discussions about self-determination and minority rights, and upcoming elections could significantly influence the direction of this initiative.
