lpv:translated text	"Slovakia, a Member State of the Union, has adopted the European Union’s value system, which means that it should also respect the principles of the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Community. However, the recent survey by the Open Society Fund points to a dangerous increase in Slovak pupils’ hatred of the Hungarian minority and shows that more than 63% are of the opinion that, in public, Hungarians should speak only Slovak, with use of the Hungarian language being limited to their homes. The outrageous thing is that even the Minister for Education gave his full support to this view in parliament. This is a startling situation. The Minister’s position is unconstitutional and contradictory to Slovak legislation and the principles on which democratic Europe is based. Since the coalition government of Mr Róbert Fico came to power, something has been wrong in Slovakia. Anti-Hungarian, racist and xenophobic displays have been getting more numerous, chiefly due to Mr Ján Slota, the chairman of the ruling party. The perplexing thing is that neither the prime minister nor the representatives of the coalition parties are protesting about this, nor are they condemning this damaging and dangerous trend."@en1
