Hungarian-hatred fueling aggression gravely disconcerting

Anger, aggression, and vandalism. Once again, Hungarian-haters have damaged certain things while venting their perceived, but by no means real, grievances. For emotion can never be justified if aggression is the outcome, and negative thoughts leading to actual, willful damage should not be accepted as "justified."

However, the Romanian nationalists got away with the desecration of the cemetery, as the Romanian gendarmerie did not fine them for placing the crosses repeatedly in the military cemetery in Uz Valley. As the military cemetery is in the administrative district of Sanmartin (Csikszentmarton), the municipality filed a criminal complaint with the police against Mihai Tîrnoveanu and his followers. Sanmartin Mayor Sandor Birtalan told the Hungarian state news agency MTI at the time that in the complaint, they described the repeated desecration of the cemetery and demanded an investigation and punishment for the perpetrators.

On the brick wall around the cemetery, two signboards can be found with information in Hungarian and Romanian about the history of the region and the battles fought in the Uz Valley.

Unknown perpetrators broke off more than a third of one of the signboards.
