The Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania ( DAHR) in the Government of Romania from 1996 to 2000

Summary/Abstract: The DAHR, which since 1989 has undertaken the interest representation of ethnic Hungarians living in Romania, accepted a role in the coalition government formed by the Democratic Convention of Romania1 between December 1996 and November 2000. In evaluating any political activity, the question of (the analyst’s) viewpoint is inevitably raised and since the authors regard scientific objectivity a fundamental requirement, they consider it their main task to set up a system of criteria with the endeavor of remaining free from taking political stands as far as it is possible. In Romania subcultures are organized along the ethnic cleavage. There are also internal divisions within the Hungarian subculture. By the end of 2000 the cleavage within the Hungarian minority in Romania seemed to be becoming institutionalized, as determined by the conflict of the then leadership of the DAHR and its internal opposition.
