Anti-Semitic hate crime

The Stephen Roth Institute reported two violent anti-Semitic incidents.

Romani Criss reported that approximately 400 ethnic Hungarians damaged Romani houses and other property in Harghita County in May. The incidents were accompanied by daily protests by ethnic Hungarians threatening Roma. Consequently, some Roma families fled their homes. Following threats by local inhabitants, an additional attack on property was reported in Harghita County in July.
