The Slovakian language police sent a summon, to amateur theatre players, who violated the Slovakian language law. According to the Slovakian language law, any kind of cultural meetings in the Hungarian language are forbidden. The language law also prohibits the use of spoken English in public. English language inscriptions are also forbidden in public. It is very remarkable that the Slovakian language police tolerates pop concerts in the English language, however it does not tolerate similar events if they happen in the Hungarian language. On the basis of these procedural inequalities regarding the Language law. Slovakia is the only country in the European union, that openly discriminates on the sole basis of ethnicity. |
