KOSSUTH’S STATUE DEFILED IN SLOVAKIA

On the 85th anniversary of the Trianon peace treaty on Saturday in Rozsnyó several Slovakian Neo-Nazis held a demonstration spitting on Lajos Kossuth’s statue there.

The demonstrators wore black uniforms similar to those of the Fascist Hlinka guard, under Slovakian and Romanian flags and banners with the inscripton ’Stop Hungarian chauvinism!’ and heard speeches and read out letters from Romanian and Serbian neofascist organizations. Finally they played the French national anthem and cheered France, glorifying the 1920 Peace Treaty which partitioned Hungary.
