The Slovak State Language Law is aimed directly at the ethnic Hungarian community of Slovakia. This type of misplaced Slovak nationalism does not have a place in the 21st century. The law goes against the Helsinki agreements on the treatment of minorities.

  • Everybody in Hungary can buy train or bus ticket to Slovakia for few forints and compare this bulshit with reality. It has no meaning to fight against obvious lies.

    I wish you a pleasant jurney, enjoy our country and feel nice.

  • @Borevit It's not all your country. If there is any justice in the world, the southern part of "your country" which is mainly populated by ethnic Hungarians, will soon be joined with Hungary once again.

  • @BetyarPali Don't be pathetic. Look on Slovaks - many of us make short trips to Vienna only for shopping and coffe. I am looking forward for visit of any normal Hungarian in Bratislava to check what is reallity. I can recommend you also some good restaurants and attractions, just send me private message.

    P.S.: I have flat in Bratislava and house in Zitny Ostrov (Csallóköz), so I travel quite often. I really have to laugh about your theories how you cannot ask for bus ticket in Hungarian, etc.

  • @Borevit The (pathetic) Slovak government is once again acting chauvinistic by renouncing the Slovak citizenship of ethnic Hungarians who become dual citizens. Renouncing the citizenship of an ethnic Hungarian Slovak citizen is in breech of Slovakia's laws, as well as the E.U. regulations. Slovaks will soon be taught a lesson in the E.U. courts and be brought into the 21st century.

  • @BetyarPali Man, I know that it has no meaning to talk with you. However, I believe on intelligent Hungarians, who can understand that your ,,Slovak government'' means ,,government of SR" formed also by Hungarian party Most-Hid led by Bela Bugar, ex-leader of Party of Hungarian Coalition.

    I think that problem of Hungary is relatively high density of id..ts like you and inability of normal Hungarians to turn them off somehow.

  • @BetyarPali Jeez Pali this law is absolutely normal language law. It is something what confirmed Knut Vollebaek too. This law bring several advantages for Hungarian minority (abolition of the mandatory titling in TV programs for minorities, abolition examming of knowledges from Slovak language for new state employees and so on). In relation to the minorities (and it still just about legal persons, local authorities...not ordinary peoples) require strictly bilingual usage of language.

  • @thelilja5 I know what it means, but it's bullshit !!! Hungarians can't be forced to speak the language of the occupier of our lands. Your language law can go to hell.

  • @BetyarPali "Why should a Hungarian school have to write their records in Slovak, when the school is predominantly full of Hungarian students" again wrong fix idea.

    In the schools and school institutions, providing upbringing and education in the language of national minorities the entire pedagogical documentation shall be kept bilingual, it means in the state language and language of national minority (§4 sec. 3).

  • @BetyarPali If Hungarian doc sees a Hun. patient of course they can speak in their mother language (and its quite normal, I live in mixed territory too...). In langugage law is: the employees and civil servants of the authorities use the state language in official communication but shall not be affected by the use of minority languages​in official communications (§3 section 1 and 2).

  • @BetyarPali "The language law prevents two Hungarians from speaking in Hungarian to each other in an official capacity" I ask you again to read this law and Act No. 184/1999 before you make such a conclusion. Based on the Act. 184/1999 Z. z. about using of minority languages,​are members of national minorities in municipalities where they live at least 20% of the total population, the right to use their language in official interaction. Except that it is their constitutional right too.
