More autonmy definitely, and for some people the ulitmate dream is an independent Transylvania, but I can honestly say I've never met anyone who wants to be unified with HungaryAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294221123964774524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689571.post-48081293123753501202006-10-10T15:54:00.000+03:002006-10-10T15:54:00.000+03:00Very interesting Andy.

This has sometimes led to me being accused of the very sort of dentistry to which you refer.<br /><br />Personally, I don't believe the phrase has any relevance to the Six Counties (where the "ethnic" Irish are outside the state but still, quite clearly, in the country) but I digress...<br /><br />The accusation of irredentism is generally an attempt to associate any belief in a change in national boundaries with the nationalistic excesses of the 1930s (by those who do not agree with such changes). Thus, as you say, it is pretty similar to my fellow travellers on the liberal-left who accuse all who disagree with them as being fascists, nazis and the like.<br /><br />Is there much support for unification with Hungary in the Szekelyfold or merely more autonomy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
