SLOVAKIA: Hungarians See Hardships Ahead Print Email More than 10 percent of the five million in Slovakia are people who identify themselves as Hungarian, and who mostly inhabit southern areas neighbouring Hungary. The numbers of this ageing community have been decreasing continuously over the years. Slovakia was born out of the Czechoslovak split of 1993. The new state pursued nationalist policies which worsened the situation of the Hungarian minority. In 1998 the Hungarian Coalition Party (SMK) became a junior governing force and managed to reverse the situation. But the 2006 parliamentary elections were won by the social-democratic Smer, which formed a majority with the help of the extreme-right and anti-Hungarian Slovak National Party (SNS), leaving the SMK in opposition.

Provocation resulted in clashes Print Email The protesters pelted the marchers with eggs, bottles and rocks and clashed with police, setting fire to a police van.

Jobbik commences social welfare referendum campaign Print Email
Vona said his party will pose seven questions, including on whether to only provide social welfare benefits to those who complete 120 hours of community work a month. Jobbik argue that no family allowance should be paid after every third child and instead tax breaks should be available to such families, rather than a family allowance. Hungary's Roma population will be the most affected by the referendum as the majority of Roma live on social benefits.
Jobbik also seeks to achieve the establishment of regional police constables in villages with over 2,000 residents, and five-year prison terms for those who give loans with exorbitant interest and those who attack doctors, teachers or public servants.
Jobbik also seeks a referendum on expelling unruly students from schools and lowering the ceiling of criminal accountability to 12 years of age. Recent polls indicated that 90% of underage criminals are of Roma origin.
