EUROPEAN LANGUAGE RIGHTS IN THE NETHERLANDS
Cluj-Napoca airport is connected with Eindhoven, so consequently the village of Zundert is actually at three hours distance from Cluj-Napoca. In Zundert a Romanian shop can be found. This shop is very interesting, because all inscriptions and labels are in Romanian only, besides this shop is full with Romanian flags. No ethnic Hungarian would dare to open such a shop in Transsylvania, although the Hungarian language even has a special legal status on paper as protected co-official language, according to Treaty of Strasbourg, European Charta of regional languages and the treaty between the Republic of Hungary and Romania on Understanding, Cooperation and Good Neighborhood amongst others.
In the Netherlands over 30.000 Romanians are enjoying the hospitality, openness and their European citizen Rights. However these very rights are denied to Europeans in Romania. How can we be equal if European Citizens are not able to exercise those rights in Romania, which are exercised on a massive scale by Romanian Citizens in Europe ? European are second Rang citizens in Romania. |
