At least they understand the importance of Borders, Language and Culture.
Nice, but there has always been a tacit understanding, at least since the end of WWII, that Slovakia would allow for the rights of the Hungarian minority (who had borders redrawn through no fault of their own) to speak their own language, have their own schools, etc. This is the same as the Germans in the South Tyrol in Italy. These folks have been in these regions for quite a long time. They are not “illegal immigrants” and Slovak Culture is not based on the “assimilationist” model.

“At least they understand the importance of Borders, Language and Culture.”
How so? A lot of those Hungarian families have probably been there for centuries, they used to be the same country you know.
This makes as much sense as saying an indian can’t speak Navajo in a public facility.
Few people understand Slovakia and it’s history. Slovakia suffered under Hungarian rule when Slovak was NOT allowed to be spoken in Slovakian schools. If Hungarians have been living in Slovakia for generations, why haven’t they assimilated by speaking Slovak? The answer is obvious....
