How curious. Katerina Csefalvayova has a very Hungarian name with a Slovak feminine marker. There are lots of "Slovakianized" Hungarian names in Slovakia. Same as German names being Danicized in Denmark - Peters to Petersen etc. |

Same as German names being Danicized in Denmark - Peters to Petersen etc. I assumed it would be a bit more sensitive, given the grief a few decades ago when the Slovaks ordered all Hungarian women to add -ova. |

I think its only sensitive for people who identify as Hungarian, not for those with some Hungarian ancestors, often several generations removed, who identify as ethnically Slovak. |

Says it all about Fico that none of our Red Team defend him in any way. What an awful man.

With just 7 seats left #SIET are too small to form their own parliamentary group and are negotiating with Most-Híd about establishing a joint group. Most-Híd prefer establishing a permeant alliance (like OĽaNO-NOVA), but still unclear if #SIET will accept this, as their leadership are dragging their feet. The deputy of #SIET Andrej Hrnčiar was elected as a Most-Híd affiliated Indie in 2012 (one of their few Slovaks in the party), but left for #SIET in 2014. Would be a logical merger, but also an admission that the whole #SIET project was an utter failure.
