The radical nationalist organization Hungarian Guard is planning to hold an event in Transylvania to mark the 91st anniversary of the formation of The Székely Regiment (Székely Hadosztály), Transylvanian daily Krónika reports.
The Székely Regiment was established in Kolozsvár (today’s Cluj-Napoca) in 1918 to protect Transylvania from Romanian troops who had crossed the Carpathians into what was then Hungary. On December 1, a dozen members of the “Székely Platoon of the New Hungarian Guard” want to hold a commemoration ceremony on the main square of Cluj-Napoca, but the city’s mayor did not authorize it.
Nándor Keresztes, a spokesman for the organization, said: “We have a responsibility to the past, and we have a right to commemorate the establishment of The Székely Regiment.”
So they want to stir trouble again, commemorating the 91st anniversary – what’s so special a bout the number 91 ? Is this a secret code ?
Or are they just crazy as hell ?
Always thinking of the glorious past…
I am a bit confused about the date here, 1918 or 1919. What I can find is:
The “Székely Hadosztály” (Sekler Regiment) was formed by Col. Károly Kratochwill on January 20, 1919, with former Hungarian & Székely soldiers from Transylvaia, to fight the Rumanian troops advancing into Western Transylvania.
-
As such it was then part of the Kun Bela regime, the Hungarian Soviet Republic or Soviet Republic of Hungary.
Interesting that Jobbik/MG is interesting celebrating a military division belonging to the so hated communists.
Maybe they will soon see Horthy as the Romanian puppet he was?
What is the catch here is that 1st of December is the National Day of Romania (celebrating no other than the unification of Transylvania with the rest of Romania), so obviously there are meetings and demonstrations scheduled by then by the Romanian authorities. Add to this the fact that on 4th of December there will be the second round of Presidential elections, and you get to the conclusion that the Magyar Garda is purposefully looking for trouble (as if it this would be a surprise)
Ah, that would explain it.
The road is everything, the goal is nothing.
And the road is to stir up trouble, for whatever reason, even if it means to celebrate a Communist Division.
On the other hand, the Székely Regiment’s cooperation with the Kun Bela regime was done in a national perspective, where the goal was all and the road not so important. This seems to be the difference between a fake ‘Nationalist’ and a real ‘Patriot’.
As I understand Kratochwill (leader of the Székely Regiment) is obviously not an Hungarian name. It is a German variant of a Slovak/Slav name, so they were every were.
Could it be that they just fancy holding an even in a country that doesn’t arrest people for what they wear?
Or after all the thoroughly crazy scenarios expressed above, is my one just too out there?
HITLER calling HORTHY
HORTHY’s secretary: HITLER is on the line
HORTHY: I do not want to talk to that crazy German, tell him I am not in
HORTHY’s secretary: He has been calling all day and he says that he knows you are in
HORTHY: Ok, pit him through
HITLER: Hey HORTHY, I want your Jews
HORTHY: No way Jose, leave my Jews alone
HITLER: I have to have them sob Bolshevik Jews because they murdered million for Stalin and if I do not get them, they will torture and murder your people also
HORTHY: Adolph, you are a lying sob, I do not believe a word of it
HITLER: You better let me have your Jews because I have wolfie sr., all dressed up in his shiny SS uniform and just dying to go over there and get those Jews.
HORTHY: Tell wolfie’s daddy that he better stay there and leave my Jews alone
HITLER: You will be sorry because their leaders are getting ready in Stalin’s workers’ paradise and they will set up death camps, torture and murder the best of your people. They got Rakosi, Gero, Farkas, Bauer, Apro and the rest of Stalin’s Jews to do the job but they cannot do that without the Jews you have in Hungary. Let me take them off your hand.
HORTHY: Keep on lying Adolph; I know that our Jews would not turn on our people. We always protected them and even took in a bunch of Polish Jews escaping from you.
HITLER: They do not care if you protect them. They will do a job on you even if you protect them. They are sadistic bastards and they will torture your people just for the fun of it. They like to pull fingernails and pour vinegar over the wounds. They are like that.
HORTHY: Stop lying HITLER, go to hell and take your SS goon, wolfie sr. with you
The rest is history:

The question of it should be allowed to walk around in a ‘uniform dress that cannot be mistaken for its intent’ is hardly a question of fashion.
You, who normally scream your lungs off with ‘false choice’ or ‘wrong question’, how would you rank your own?
It was a very simple question. Yours was a very simple evasion of that question. Aren’t you bored of them? I know we all are.
There was no screaming involved, this is not the first time you have used this verb. It seems that anyone who disagrees with your snide hot air is, by definition, screaming. What a dull mediocre fellow you really are.
It might be interestig to see how Romanian authorities react to a show of black clad Hungarians coming into the country…
Even with Schengen there is the possibility of border controld – did not something strange happen to Hungary’s president when he decided to come to Slovakia without an invitation by the government ?
PS: What about the last show where the men in black went into that Roma village ?
@wolfi
“It might be interestig to see how Romanian authorities react to a show of black clad Hungarians coming into the country…”
Well if you knew anything about the Ceauşescu era, you’d understand that Romanians on the whole tend to be against Hungarians dressing like Hungarians. Those terrifying black waistcoats, and the chance of a deadly Csárdás breaking out at any moment.
“PS: What about the last show where the men in black went into that Roma village?”
…and got a good axing for their trouble you mean? Well then surely you should be completely in favour of the idea.

So you really mean that the reason why the Police arrested 14 (or whatever number) the other day on the Horthy remembrance Parade was a question of fashion?
It has nothing to do with what that ‘fashion’ stands for?
The word ‘uniform’ has suddenly got a new meaning?
-
Are these questions simple enough, or will you answer, as you have done several times “False question” for 5 rows all in bold?
That is of course not ‘screaming’, just being ‘civilized’ as only you can?
On the question of Transsylvania being Hungarian and how to get it back there is a really interesting thread here:
http://www.topix.com/forum/world/romania/TRP08P556N6LVO9BE/p18
Some of the people there screaming from afar (addresses range from the USA to Australia) remind me of our late contributor of sillyness PanamaJackass (the guy of many names – may he rest in peace!).
It really is strange how mauch time some people invest in crazy endavours, trying to prove or disprove completely irrelevant things that might have happened a hundred or even a thousand years ago – instead of thinking about today and the future…
From MTI:
Police remove municipal deputy wearing banned guard uniform

I assume we will have another tirade from our Fashion-commentator about “a country that doesn’t arrest people for what they wear?”
@Viking
Do you actually have a point to make? Or are you just prowling from blog to blog snarling snide comments out of the corner of your mouth?
FACT: You dismissed out of hand, and as nonsensical, my idea that the Guard was holding an event in Romania because it is a country that doesn’t arrest people for what they wear. Absurd! You said. Much more to it than that. You said. The ramblings of a misguided “fashion correspondent.”
And THEN what do? You quote: “From MTI:
Police remove municipal deputy wearing banned guard uniform.” As if it made your point and not mine??!!??
You have proven exactly what I asserted.
This man’s charge sheet from the police will read that he was taken into custody for wearing a particular type of clothing. Nothing more nothing less. Exactly what I had originally said.
Sheesh! Do you actually ever READ the stuff you write before you press the “Submit” button?
@ Bob
Do you really think that wearing black shirts is a “fashion statement” or simply nostalgia for Mussolini’s Blackshirt?
It’s pretty clear that it’s a political statement and not a fashion statement.
BTW, for everyone who supports JOBBIK : Please start a letter writing campaign to Vona and Morvai
to stop having the Magyar Garda around for photo-ops. They look like a bunch of low life criminals (I bet must of them have records)
I read that JOBBIK is trying to get support from the main stream population – I think there is a problem with their image for that agenda.
It’s like having President Obama being associated with gangsta rappers
