"Mr President, there is disturbing news from Slovakia. The Director of the Danube Museum in Komárno, Csaba Fehér, has been threatened with dismissal. Among the charges is that he was co-organiser of an exhibition in the European Parliament last year. That exhibition documented the sufferings of the Hungarian minority under the Czechoslovak Government after 1945 on the basis of collective guilt. The concept of collective guilt is wholly irreconcilable with the civic norms and human rights that are at the heart of the European Union’s democratic underpinnings.
Slovakia, as a Member State of the European Union, has accepted those principles in full. So, what the Slovak authorities are doing not only flies in the face of human rights normativity, but implicitly criticises the European Parliament. Slovakia must resolve these contradictions as rapidly as possible."@en1
