lpv:translated text	"Once again we have a problem involving respect for ethnic minority rights in Slovakia and it is the fault of the education minister, a member of the extreme nationalist governing party. He has issued a decision under which schools where teaching takes place in ethnic minority languages may henceforth use only history text books that are literal translations of the Slovak ones. It follows from this that history will be taught according to the dictates of the governing party rather than being based on the facts. This conflicts with the practice to date and also with internationally guaranteed minority rights. In the EU every minority community has the natural right to learn its own history. Hungarian teachers, and indeed the entire Hungarian community in Slovakia, are justifiably outraged. It is unacceptable for an extremist party to be constantly putting pressure on minorities in this way. It is irresponsible during a global economic crisis for someone to feel the need to provoke ethnic minorities. It is playing with fire to behave like this in times of such uncertainty."@en1
