Dispute over alleged succession to the German Ethnic Group
During and after Klaus Johannis’s presidential campaign, political opponents alleged that the forum was the legal successor to the wartime German Ethnic Group in Romania and connected the claim to disputed property restitutions in Sibiu. The forum rejected the allegation and emphasized its post-1989 origin and separate institutional identity.
