Speaking to Kronika Online, Karoly Karacsony, mayor of Nyaradgalfalva (called Galesti in Romanian, which administratively includes Nagyadorjan), gave more details about what happened.
The mayor said the Tisza camp’s organizers only informed the authorities officially on Thursday, the opening day, about what was happening. He highlighted that
they received no prior official notice, so they had no idea that a multi-day political event would be taking place in the village. And even when the notice came, it wasn’t under the name of the Tisza Party, but rather under the neutral-sounding name of ‘Community Dialogue Camp.’
Because the event was held on private land, no municipal approval was required, so the organizers never contacted local officials, the municipal government, or even neighboring landowners whose fields bordered the site.
The Locals Got Fined
As already mentioned, a second event was happening nearby at the same time, the local harvest celebration.
Mayor Karoly Karacsony emphasized that this was not a formal public event, just a traditional community gathering. He was invited to attend as mayor and did so. Since the event was also held on private land, he did not consider a permit or formal reporting necessary.
He added that it remains unclear who exactly called the police, since the police said it was the property owner, but the owner denied making any report.
In the end, the responsibility landed on Karoly Karacsony himself: he was fined 500 lei by the authorities, which he says he has already paid.
Regarding the fine he was handed for disturbing peace, the mayor commented: it's true they were celebrating, but he firmly believes there was no intentional disorderly conduct.
