The future of the EU lies within the provision of cultural and territorial autonomies
„Mr. President!
It is sad that politics aiming at assigning collective guilt to national minorities can still put a restraint on the advancement of the European integration process. I hereby would like to thank the President for his actions supporting normality in Slovakia.
The State Language Law in Slovakia is a small chapter of this sad tale. The other one is a Czech situation. The Czech president must know even with no knowledge of the Lisbon Treaty that the Benes-decrees were issued with the declaration of collective guilt and they do not become illegitimate by the coming into force of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, but they are in contradiction with more than six European base documents.
We trust that the future of the European Union and the Lisbon Treaty will not be based on the reaffirmation of post-war collective disfranchisement, but on the warranted rights of national minorities through the common European practices of cultural and territorial autonomies.”
