Since 1567 the Pentecost pilgramage in Transylvania #Csíksomolyó #ȘumuleuCiuc is an annual tradition. Hundreds of thousands of Hungarians called by their faith and their community. It gives me every year us strength and force 🙏

Today I spoke at the European Non-Territorial Autonomy Network conference.

The word #autonomy faces hostility in many European states. Plus, #minority rights are overlooked, hindering cultural diversity.

Cultural autonomy could empower minorities to be seen as equal citizens.
