#Slovakia 's draft #language law sparks fears over #rights of #Hungarian minority

👉 "The proposed amendment to [the] existing #languagelaw states that #Slovak text must appear first on public signs and advertisements, and that #minoritylanguages would be prohibited on public transport and in places such as post offices, according to local media reports. People who fall foul of the legislation would face fines of up to €15,000."
