"Mr President, given that both you and the Commission expressed your intention to monitor the implementation of Slovakia’s national language law, I would like to draw your attention to the following points. The government has published the implementing provision, which not only overrides laws, but also introduces further restrictions. The implementation proposal specifies that the law’s legitimate purpose is solely to protect and support the national language in official dealings, as well as to protect the rights of users of the national language. It states that, in the case of natural persons and legal entities, the protection of these rights has as its legitimate aim interference with fundamental rights and freedoms. It is therefore glaringly obvious that this is a reference to the rights and freedoms of persons belonging to minorities. The implementing measure also points out that, regardless of whether the proportion is above or below 20%, the minority language can only be used anywhere if a third person who is present agrees to this. I think that this absurdity is unacceptable in Europe."@en1
