• Válogatás Slota magyarokat gyalázó mondataiból

Az MKP szerint Slota több kijelentésével kimerítette a nemzet, a faj és a meggyőződés meggyalázásának vétkét. Cselekedeteit ezenkívül a társadalomra veszélyesnek tartják. A párt szerint Slota fokozni kezdte magyarellenes kijelentéseit. Ilyen kijelentései gyakoriságával és gyűlölködő tartalmával mind nagyobb traumát okoz, és félelmet a magyar kisebbség további jövőjével kapcsolatban, egyben ellenséges hangulatot kelt a Szlovákia területén élő magyar és szlovák nemzetiségű állampolgárok között. Európa-ellenesnek és elfogadhatatlannak nevezte Ján Slota csehországi németeket és szlovákiai magyarokat érintő kijelentéseit Erika Steinbach, a Centrum a kiűzetés ellen nevű alapítvány vezetője. Slota a Lidové novinyben megjegyezte, hogy pártja nem a magyarok ellen van, hanem a MKP azon képviselői ellen harcol, akik kisebbségként elnyomják a többségi nemzetet, mégpedig annak saját területén. Amíg a MKP képviselői Szlovákiát nem tekintik hazájuknak, hanem Nagy-Magyarország részének, addig ő a párt betiltása mellett lesz. Az MKP által követelt politikai autonómiát Slota nagyon veszélyesnek tartja. A szlovák politikus úgy véli, hogy a szlovákok az egykori történelmi Magyarországon ezer évig „rabszolgaságban” éltek. Slota azt állította, hogy Dél-Szlovákiában a magyarok uralkodnak, és „a Szlovák Köztársaság felségterületén” elnyomják a szlovákokat, s ott szlovákul nem lehet senkivel szót érteni. A SNS július végén feljelentette Duray Miklóst, amiért az MKP ügyvezető alelnöke az egyik magyarországi kereskedelmi rádióban az ellene tett korábbi SNS-feljelentés kapcsán azt nyilatkozta, hogy a Szlovák Nemzeti Párt minden megnyilvánulása alapján fasiszta párt, melynek vezetője, Ján Slota nemzetiségi gyűlöletet hirdet, és fegyveres akciókra buzdít egy másik nemzet, Magyarország ellen. Még júliusban az MKP alelnöke, Csáky Pál egy televízió-műsorban nem zárta ki annak lehetőségét, hogy az SNS jelenléte a kormányban az MKP egy részéből radikálisabb fellépést vált majd ki. Az ezzel kapcsolatos félelmeket szerinte a kisebbségek számára érzékeny posztok elfoglalása váltja ki, ami Csáky szerint nem garantál megfelelő kisebbségpolitikát.

New Slovak Government Embraces Ultra-Nationalists,
Excludes Hungarian Coalition Party

* * *

In a statement issued July 8, the Hungarian Coalition Party (HCP), representing Slovakia's 600,000-strong Hungarian community, expressed grave concern about the ultra-nationalistic orientation of the new Slovak government formed July 3 and said it will oppose any anti-minority step the government takes as well as those aimed at reversing hard-won reforms. As the most consistently pro-European party in Slovakia, HCP recalled that reforms and euro-Atlantic integration would not have been achieved without its active support and participation in both governments between 1998 and 2006.

Although HCP received its highest support to date at the June 17 parliamentary elections with 11.7 percent of the vote, the party was snubbed by SMER president Robert Fico, leader of the winning social democrats. Instead, Fico chose as coalition partners Ján Slota, president of the extreme right-wing Slovak National Party (SNS) and thrice prime minister Vladimir Meciar, head of the Peoples' Party-Movement for Democratic Slovakia. The Slovak National Party is well-known for its xenophobic and ultra-nationalistic views on minorities, especially against Hungarians and Roma [a compilation of Ján Slota's radical statements follows].

Fico Ignores Warnings from Major European Political Leaders

On July 4, the Socialist Group in the European Parliament unanimously condemned the SMER leader's formation of a coalition with the ultra-nationalist SNS and overwhelmingly called for SMER's suspension from the Party of European Socialists (PES). The move came after PES President Poul Nyrup Rasmussen sent two letters to Fico emphasizing that "the composition of the coalition raises many concerns regarding the respect of human rights, in particular the rights of ethnic minorities, as well as commitments to democracy, to the European Union and European values and policies" and that the "Slovak Re-public risks being totally isolated from and condemned by the international community." On July 5, Rasmussen reiterated his recommendation to suspend SMER at the next meeting of the PES Presidency "as long as SNS is in Government in Slovakia."

The Chairman of the largest parliamentary group in the European Parliament, the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats (EPP-ED), also expressed astonishment "that the most extreme xenophobic party is to be part of the next government." "This development is not justified by any lack of suitable partners in the Slovak Parliament and it can only harm the real interests of Slovakia," declared Hans-Gert Poettering, already on June 30th. At the request of the eight members of the EPP-ED Slovak Delegation, on July 6, the EPP created a monitoring group to closely follow political developments in Slovakia reminding that "a policy respectful of minorities and based on political dialogue is the only way to achieve a stable democratic society."

Minister for Agriculture, Miroslav Jurena (HZDS). Along with regional development, these two ministries are vital for the 600,000-strong Hungarian minority which is primarily engaged in agriculture.

On Hungarians...

"I have to tell you a short story. Back in 1248 a Frank bishop visited the Carpathian Basin and he said: 'As I was scanning this country, I was wondering how God could give such a beautiful land to such ugly people. He meant the 'old Hungarians.' because they were Mongoloid types with crooked legs and they owned such disgusting horses. Actually, small horses. This is what the bishop said, it is written...exactly, it is written word by word...and now, after more than 800 years those 'Mongoloids' have somehow disappeared...I don ´t know who showed them how to be civilized. But I think unfortunately it was the Slavic blood...unfortunately. And I really don't know if these Hungarians, who like to say about themselves that they are Hungarians, are really Hungarians. I think 90 percent of them have Slavic blood and maybe 10 percent, or maybe just a tenth of a percent has the 'old Hungarian' blood. "

And for that reason I say - my brothers, we still have our armaments factories and we still know how to make tanks. Very good tanks..." "This is what we really want? Slovaks? Having it back again? Having us hanged again at lamp-posts, that we will have to learn our prayers in Hungarian again? No way!"

STATEMENT
By the National Council of the Hungarian Coalition Party
On the post-2006 Parliamentary Election Situation
Bratislava, July 8, 2006

The National Council of the Hungarian Coalition Party (NC-HCP) is pleased to acknowl-edge that as a result of the 2006 parliamentary elections, the Hungarian Coalition Party (HCP) achieved its highest percentage of votes to date, 11.7 percent, while the percentage of Hungari-ans in the country is only 9.7 percent. Consequently, the party will retain its number of mandates in the Parliament.

The fact that, in terms of the number of absolute votes, the party has lost supporters does not escape NC-HCP's attention either. Therefore, NC-HCP calls upon the national leadership, in cooperation with the county chairmen, to analyze the election process and submit its report to the NC-HCP by September 30, 2006.

NC-HCP notes that as a viable political force the party leadership did everything possible so that HCP be part of a new government. The NC-HCP regrets that despite a 40 percent com-bined result for the three parties comprising the EPP [European People's Party, trans.] [HCP, SDKU (Slovak Democratic and Christian Union), KDH (Christian Democratic Union)], the group was incapable of forming a government.

While it was not NC-HCP's goal, it would have accepted the large coalition option with SMER as well. In this case, there would have been opportunity to continue the positive devel-opments, and correct the failings of the past four years, in which HCP would have been an active partner. The members of NC-HCP were shocked, however, by SMER's politicking and the party national leadership's decision whereby, of all the possible combination of parliamentary parties, they chose the worst. NC-HCP is gravely concerned by the nationalistic orientation of the new government and authorizes the party's leadership and parliamentary representatives to oppose, in the strongest possible manner, each and every step the new government takes to reverse reforms and against minorities. NC-HCP considers it important to regularly inform international public opinion about all negative steps the new government takes. Domestically, it will use every legal means at its disposal to protect the development of Slovakia's Hungarian community and the economic interests of Slovakia's southern region. The Party offers protection to all civil servants, especially those of Hungarian ethnicity, who are illegally dismissed from their posts by the new powers-that-be. The party emphatically states that only governance and minority policies reflective of the 21st Century's spirit are acceptable. HCP will do everything possible to prevent a reversal of conditions in Slovakia to the pre-1998 state.

As the political body of the most consistently pro-European party in Slovakia, NC-HCP finds it important to emphasize that reforms and Euro-Atlantic integration would not have been achieved without the active support and participation of Slovakia's Hungarian party in both governments between 1998 and 2006.

Therefore, according to NC-HCP, Slovakia should proceed on the road set out after 1998 and characterized by adherence to democratic rules of conduct; respect for human and minority rights; and realization of stable and predictable economic and fiscal policies.
