László Tamás Papp writes a column for Hungarian weekly Heti Világgazdaság.
Recently adopted in Bratislava, a law obliging Slovak citizens to express themselves in Slovak in public areas has prompted an outcry in Budapest, which views it as an infringement of the rights of Slovakia's Hungarian minority. With political rhetoric reaching fever pitch on both sides of the Danube, Hungarian weekly Heti Világgazdaság calls on the European Union to halt what it views as a dangerous upsurge in Slovakian nationalism.
