Restitutio Interruptus: Minority Churches, Property Rights and Europeanisation in Romania

Abstract

The article aims to explain the changing dynamics of property restitution to historical Hungarian churches in Romania. While in the early 2000s most claims by these churches were approved, after 2010 most of their petitions were denied when the courts started questioning these churches’ historical property rights. It is argued here that this jurisprudential shift can be explained by the changing political environment after Romania’s EU accession, when the courts deferred to the prevailing social consensus, reflecting the unpopularity of restitution to minority churches amongst the Romanian public.
