A Magyar Lobbiba mindenki csak(!) ÖNMAGA iratkozhat fel! A feliratkozás az alábbi cimen történik:

Ezen a cimen lobbink korábbi akcióit is megismerhetik.

Értesítettek, hogy a Hõsök Teréröl készült felvétel több éves, az azon láthatókért a mostani rendõrség parancsnoka nem felelõs és nagyon remélem, nem is türné el, hogy ilyesmi ma előfordulhasson.

Ugyanakkor a szlovákiai helyzet tovább romlik. Most már arról is szó van, hogy betiltják a Magyar Koalició Pártját.Ugyanakkor megköszönöm a Gondola szerkesztõinek, hogy õk is lobbiznak a törvény ellen. Kérem, adja postára és egyben terjessze is (a Gondola által megfogalmazott) alábbi levelet.

A szlovák nyelvtörvény ellen:

Ha Ön személyesen is ki kíván állni a szlovákiai magyarság anyanyelv-használati jogának csorbítása ellen, akkor szíveskedjék a következõt tenni:

1. Nyissa mega csatolmányt
2. Nyomtassa ki a levelet, és
3. írja rá a nevét, pontos címét, továbbá (ha vannak) tudományos fokozatait, címeit, kitüntetéseit, a dátumot, és írja is alá.
4. Ezután szíveskedjék borítékba tenni és megcímezni Gay J. McDougall asszonynak az ENSZ-be, az angol nyelvû változatban olvasható módon.

Az ENSZ válaszolni fog. Minél többen írunk, annál nyomatékosabb a szavunk, ez már nem egy hasonló emberi jogi akcióban bebizonyosodott. Az e-mailnél azért elõnyösebb a papíron küldött levél, mert azt mindenképpen iktatják, és ezért több figyelmet kap.

Dear Ms. McDougall,

On account of grave violations of the human rights of ethnic and linguistic minorities in Slovakia we are turning to you for your assistance.
On 1 September 2009, the recently (30 June 2009) modified language law of Slovakia came into force. This modified language law severely curtails the free use of languages of
ethnic minorities on the territory of Slovakia. Among others, it
(a) obliges the employees of transport, postal services, telecommunications, the Armed Forces, Armed Services and the Fire Department to use the state language (Slovak) in
official contacts (§3 (2);
(b) states that a civilian and a legal entity in official contact with authorities has to use the state language (§3(5). An exception is the Czech language, which meets the
criteria of full comprehensibility;
(c) requires schools using minority languages to ensure that their administration and other documentation be bilingual (§4(3);
(d) interferes with the free use of minority languages on radio, television, in the written media, public meetings, etc. (§5 (1-3);
(e) requires that inscriptions on monuments, memorials and memorial tables be in the state language. The language of ethnic minorities may only be used in a secondary
place. (§7 (7);
(f) obliges institutions of health care and social services to conduct their affairs in Slovak. This may be waived only in the case of a patient who does not speak the state language. (§8(4);
(g) stipulates all advertisements and announcements intended to inform the public to be in the state language. A minority language may only be used in a secondary place.
(§8(6)
(h) Furthermore, the modified language law provides for supervision and fines for "language crimes", which may range from 100 to 5000 Euros. (§9 and 9a).
This law affects more than 570 thousand Hungarians, and altogether several tens of thousands of Roma, Ruthene, Polish and German native speakers. It is important to point out that members of the Hungarian minority are not migrants. They live in cities and villages built by their Hungarian ancestors, who have lived there for more than 1100 years. Due to geopolitical manipulation of the borders as a result of the Treaties of Trianon (1920) and Paris
(1947) more than one and a half million Hungarians were cut off from Hungary in favour of Czechoslovakia. After World War II, 150 thousand of them were deported from
Czechoslovakia in cattle-trucks and tens of thousands were assassinated. It is sad to say that even today, only somewhat more than 570 000 dare to admit their ethnic roots. Most of these Hungarians live in a compact block in the South of Slovakia, where entire cities and villages
are populated by Hungarians.
The modified language law reinforces the second class status of ethnic minorities, and limits their right to use their own language and to enjoy their own culture. These minorities view the language law as forced assimilation and cultural genocide. Given the already tense situation, the modified language law generates hostility and creates tensions, which may endanger the stability of Europe.
In view of your mandate to promote the implementation of the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities, we
would like to ask you to

(a) examine the modified version of the Slovak language law with regard to its compatibility with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Declaration on the
Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities, and other relevant Conventions and Declarations;
(b) seek information from the political parties and associations of ethnic minorities in Slovakia;
(c) submit a report on this matter to the Human Rights Council; and
(d) take all appropriate measures to enforce Slovakia's compliance with the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic
Minorities.
We sincerely hope to have your cooperation in this matter and anticipate hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
