Yesterday, on Romania’s National Day, what could the vengeful Hungarians do better? To swear at the Romanian nation, or to write messages against the Romanians, or to raise the portraits of Stefan on the highways leading to Romania.
An indecent, but equally innocuous, the action was taken by a member of parliament in Budapest. She, together with a colleague, chose to burn the Treaty of Trianon in front of the Romanian Embassy in Budapest.
As Dóra Dúró is a young, far-right politician, an irredentist, she does not know that by burning the Treaty of Trianon she has done great harm to the great Hungarian historians and politicians who presented before the signing of the Treaty of Trianon.
In January 1920, the Hungarian delegation, led by Count A. Apponyi, arrived in Paris at the invitation of the Peace Conference, together with 38 experts chosen by scientific figures to support the Hungarian cause.
The delegation brought with it a huge documentary and propaganda material, about which Nicolae Titulescu, signatory, together with Ioan Cantacuzino, of the Treaty of Trianon, declared a few years later: “I affirm that Hungary presented itself at the Peace Conference with a documentary material without pair…”.
The Hungarian delegation also rightly boasted of the material presented at the Paris Conference: “This work is a unique treasure of Hungarian science. A similar work has never appeared. It would be impossible to do the same in the future. It is a standard work, a constant source for the historians of the future “.
So, Dóra Dúró, through your action you tarnished the national work of a generation 100 years ago.
History is cruel but true. She always gives to Caesar what is Caesar’s.
