The fight for bilingual place name signs is a constant struggle for the Hungarian community in Romania. Even though there is a law which states that in localities where a minority constitutes at least 20% of the population, road signs have to be bilingual, new cases of non-compliance appear almost on a monthly basis.
The most recent incident occurred in Négyfalu/Săcele, where a new road sign was put up, which only featured the name of the town in Romanian. This happened despite the fact that according to the latest census, the town has a Hungarian population of 20.16 %.
