Ideology and objectives

It positions itself as an alternative for the Hungarian minority in Romania to the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR/RMDSZ), the largest party representing the Hungarians/Magyars living in Romania. The party's aim is "to establish an own parliament and government in Transylvania" and to achieve autonomy for the Szeklerland.^[4] It also advocates territorial autonomy for Partium.^[5]^[6]

In June 2014, Tibor Toró made a proposal for the revision of the bilateral treaty between Romania and Hungary, which was signed in 1996: I think the basic treaty with Hungary should be amended to introduce a reference to the possibility of creating the legal framework of autonomy for national communities, specifically for Hungarians.^[7]

This political organization is closely associated with the European MP László Tőkés, who was described by the president Tibor Toró as "the mentor of the party".^[8]

In August 2021, the party proposed a similar law to the Hungarian anti-LGBT law.^[9]^[10]
