On the newest chapter of the Hungarian-Slovakian conflict

Jobbik was not surprised by the latest incident in the festering Hungarian-Slovakian relations, when, on the 21st of August, the Slovakian authorities, in an unprecedented way during the existence of the European Union, denied entry to Slovakia to Mr. László Sólyom, the President of Hungary, saying that "they would unable to guaranty his personal security”.
As we declared subsequently to last fall's brutal assault on Hungarians by Slovakian riot police at Dunaszerdahely, today in Slovakia, the conflict is safely considered permanent. The real reason behind it is, in fact, the infamous Trianon Treaty, concluding WWI, where the victorius entente powers chopped up the historical, thousand year old Hungarian Kingdom into 8 countries - as they exist today.

Jobbik intends to call upon the world opinion, that as a grave result of this illegitimate dictate, three million indeginous people of Hungarian mother-tongue in the Carpathian Basin are forced to encounter personal, social, legal and economic discrimination at the hands of the successor states throughout the conduct of their everyday lives.

The latest escalation of the Hungarian-Slovakian ruse began with the new Slovakian language legislation, to come into force  from September 1, 2009, prohibiting the use of the Hungarian language in government institutions in Slovakia. Being totally unprecedented in the EU, violating numerous international agreements, neglecting EU recommendations and the Hungarian-Slovakian Ground Accord as well, this move not only violates the basic human rights of the Hungarian minority in a discriminative and unjust fashion, but they have also been reduced to second-class citizens in their own homeland. http://www.jobbik.com/jobbik-announcements/3098.html
