"I must protest against the previous speaker. These are absolute lies, falsehoods and untruths. I would like to ask you finally to study the language law, because it does not look like your own language law. We have another, different language law in Slovakia and we are talking here about two different laws.
I come from Košíce, which is a cosmopolitan city of 250 000 inhabitants, including substantial numbers of Hungarians, Czechs, Ruthenes, Ukrainians, Roma and, of course, Slovaks. Four years ago, voters decided that in the Košíce region, the coalition between us – the social democrats – and the representatives of the Hungarian minority was working very successfully. I would like to state as a regional representative that our cooperation is exemplary. Hungarians and Slovaks live in peace in our area and it does not occur to anyone to malign or attack one another on grounds of nationality. In people’s everyday lives, there are no disputes and there is no nationality problem in mixed areas. I say this in all seriousness. If senior politicians in certain parties had not provoked this issue for their own reasons, the Hungarian ethnic minority issue would not have been raised in the European Parliament, because it does not exist."@en1
