Another Insult To Those With Slovak-Hungarian Dual Citizenship
- 14 Mar 2012 8:00 AM
The businessman Olivér Boldoghy and the teacher István Fejér were confronted by police at home and at work in the town of Révkomárom/ Komárno, which has a majority Hungarian population.
The Hungarian government sees it as extremely regrettable that once again a Slovakian general election campaign has been marked by attempts to intimidate those of Hungarian ethnicity. It is astonishing that those aiming to create a climate of fear among the Hungarian community are not representatives of political parties but from the Slovak authorities themselves.
While teaching a lesson at a Hungarian school in the town, István Fehér was confronted in front of his students by police who did not speak Hungarian.
The Government of Hungary considers these actions an outrage and utterly condemns them.
We trust that the authorities will not succeed in their apparent aim of intimidating members of the Hungarian community, but that these incidents will in fact strengthen the resolve of ethnic Hungarians in those areas."
