Ethnic Clashes Erupt in Târgu Mureș

March 19th, 1990 34 years ago

In March 1990, Târgu Mureș witnessed violent clashes between ethnic Romanians and Hungarians. Triggered by tensions from the aftermath of the 1989 Romanian Revolution, the violence erupted in part due to the political changes impacting ethnic minorities. The unrest began as a peaceful gathering, but quickly escalated into confrontations involving stone-throwing and arson, leading to several injuries and heightened ethnic tensions in the region.
