Romanian President Traian Basescu declared that his visit to Harghita and Covasna on Tuesday was an official one even though he did not request any protocol as he wanted to see the realities in the two counties.

Basescu considers that the ethnic Hungarian political organizations, the Hungarian Democrats (UCR) and the Democratic Hungarian Union (UDMR) are fighting to obtain political ground.

Because of this, their interests are not congruent with those of the population. President Basescu added that UCM fights for setting up a new party that will divide the power of UDMR.

Moreover, he accused UDMR for his feudal behavior in the two counties. Plus, UDMR local officials have a discriminatory behavior in the local administration.

Another point touched by the President is the possibility of educating the young people into knowing the Romanian language. Basescu considers that there should be instated a new methodology for studying Romanian language: namely ethnic Hungarians should study it as a foreign language.
