About László Tőkés
- László Tokés (Hungarian pronunciation: ['la?slo? 'tø?ke??]; born 1 April 1952) is an ethnic Hungarian pastor and politician from Romania.
- He was a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 2007 to 2019.
- He served as Vice President of the European Parliament from 2010 to 2012. A bishop of the Királyhágómellék Reformed Church District of the Reformed Church in Romania, he is also a former honorary president of the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania.
- He is the head of the Hungarian National Council of Transylvania, a civic organisation for Transylvanian Hungarians.
- Tokés is closely associated with the Hungarian People's Party of Transylvania. An effort to transfer him from his post as an assistant pastor in Timi?oara and to evict him from his church flat helped trigger the Romanian Revolution, which overthrew Nicolae Ceausescu and spelled the end of the communist era in Romania. He is a member of the Reconciliation of European Histories Group, and co-sponsored the European Parliament resolution of 2 April 2009 on European conscience and totalitarianism.
