Secret service agents, state officials fulfilling orders, full-time
challengers are trying to intimidate Hungarians and provoke them into
things that the power in Bucharest can refer to when acting. Mno.hu
presents some of them.
Romanian journalist Dan Tanasa happily announced on February 6 that his
professional Facebook page received 10 thousand likes. Four days earlier
he wrote that his blog was visited by 372 thousand people last year.
The Romanian internet analyzing service says that he is one of the most
popular authors in Romania.
Ethnic cleansing
Who is this 34-year-old
man who brought dozens of Hungarian local governments in Szeklerland to
the court? According to people who know his family, he is the son of
simple Romanian workers. He was born in Sepsiszentgyörgy, Szeklerland,
he went to school there, he graduated at the Transilvania University of
Brasov, the Faculty of Education and Psychology, and he earned a
master’s degree of communication and PR in 2011.
During the national-communist dictatorship a truly distorted picture was
developed of Hungarians. They were told to be an alien and hostile
population recently settled in the Romanian land with excessive and
unjustified claims. They were told to be following hidden aims always
moving against Romanians, mno.hu reported.
Dan Tanasa, by his own confession, has been writing since 2008 on the
“massive abuses of local governments controlled by RMDSZ and the
Hungarian Civic Party” that are committed against the Romanian residents
of Hargita and Kovászna county. He also writes accusations to stop
“ethnic cleansing” to which the Romanians are exposed. Sepsiszentgyörgy
mayor, Árpád Antal, said that they have one or two people who always
have to deal with the answering of Dan Tanasa’s questions. Fomer Social
Democrat Senator, current mayor of Craiova, Lia Olguta Vasilescu said:
“if Dan Tanasa did not exist, we would have to have invented him”.
He reports in the name of the Civil Association for the Pride in Europe
(ADEC), which is chaired by the blogger. The other three founders cannot
be found on the social sites. The association has objectives, like the
promotion of the Romanian nation-state, the protection of fundamental
human rights, at least in the exclusive cases of the Romanian-speaking
Romanian citizens.
Agent or messenger?
Mno.hu asked several people, including colleagues, about the Dan Tanasa
phenomenon in Transylvania. Most people only talk anonymously, because
they are afraid that the notorious blogger would harass them and
immediately cite them to the court. Almost everyone thinks that he has
relations with the secret services. He spent years in Spain and now he
lives in Germany, so he is likely to work for the Romanian foreign
intelligence. Otherwise, he could not have been informed about the fact
that the mayor of a small Székely Land settlement put up the Székely
flag. The blogger reported that with photos within days.
László Szőke, Transylvanian journalist, wrote on szekelyhon.ro that
Tanasa gets a lot of awards. Voiculescu Family Foundation awarded him a 3
and a half million HUF (11,290 EUR) for his courage with which he
protects the Romanians of Hargita-Kovászna counties. Voiculescu himself
was sentenced to 10 years by the national anticorruption prosecutor’s
office (DNA). Mno.hu knows that the blogger already received a
scholarship from the foundation during his university studies. He is
also a frequent guest at Antena 3 TV that is owned by Voiculescu.
Mno.hu asked Dan Tanasa about his reports, complaints and observations,
but he has not responded so far.
Relationship network, or the network is alive and well
If you search through the Facebook profiles of some people it becomes
revealed that Dan Tanasa is in a daily contact with former and current
Romanian Prefects of Hungarian-populated counties, with Székelyföld
Romanian Orthodox bishop Ioan Selejan and with various organizations of
Székelyföld Romanians.
While he wins several lawsuits sometimes he also takes a knock. In 2014,
he complained about the Nyírő József commemorative ceremony, because he
believes that the organization popularized Fascist, anti-Romanian and
anti-Semitic views. The Gyegyószentmiklós prosecution rejected it.
State employee Mircea Diacon – who was sent to Háromszék – is the
enthusiastic supporter of the blogger. He is the head of the Kovászna
County Consumer Protection Office and he strikes down on every perceived
or real illegitimacy, mno.hu said.
Székely flavor
Diacon has led the office since 2013. When he punished the Háromszék
butchery for the use of the phrase “Székely flavor” he explained it by
how there is no such thing as a “Székely flavor”. However, he did not
respond to the question asked about the phrase “traditional Romanian
flavors” which can be found in several Romanian stores.
According to mno.hu, his zeal becomes tragicomic at times: since he
insists on the Romanian labeling for every product, he made the name
Rigó Jancsi sweets of Rigó Jancsi pastry shop change into “Mierla
Ionica” with the Hungarian name below.
