STANDPOINT

OF THE INDEPENDENT HUNGARIAN INITIATIVE

TO THE SPECIFIC AIMS AND IDEALS LAID OUT IN THE

LIBERAL INTERNATIONAL MANIFESTO

The Independent Hungarian Initiative is

aspiring along with the European, and espe

cially Middle-European liberal forces to cre

ate a liberal democracy in Czecho-Slovakia.

We are convinced that the worthes laid out

in the Liberal Manifesto, can lead us after a

period of totalitarianism back to the world

of the advanced democracies.

We would like to build up a society, which

takes its origin from self-organizing of free

individuals. The state power and structure

based upon collectivism have to be transfor

med so that it serve the citizens, protect the

ir human and civil rights. In this coherence

the worthes involved in the Liberal Manifes

to, are particulalry important for us and are

very timely in the present situation of ours.

One of the main aims of the Independent

Hungarian Initiative is the social market

economy, decentralisation of the power and

demonopolisation. The ownership and its

defence should be the fundamental princip

le of the difficult process of privatization in

our country.

Our aim is the entire freedom of press

and an independent press structure.

The real legality can be secured only by

independent jurisdiction, by judges who did

not take part in the injustices of the past.

The IHI is a supporter of peaceful colla

boration of nations in Europe and in the

world. We back up forming of such coopera

tion systems between states that could poli

tically stabilize the area and fasten it to

wards the advanced democracies. The IHI

would like to play a considerable part in this

process. In the promising Hungarian-Cz,e-

choslovak-Polish cooperation we wish to ar

range the Slovak-Hungarian relation - one

of the neuralgic points of this coalition - by

using civilized political, economical and in

tellectual means.

Our political group works on collaborati

on of national minorities in Slovakia. We

believe in the principle of free development

of different cultures, laid out in the Liberal

Manifesto, and with enforcement of this

principle we want to assist in solving of the

problems of our area.

We are not only aspiring to consistently

enforce, but also to contribute to the deve

lopment of the liberal principles. We belie

ve that the renaissance of these ideals in our

region can enrich the liberalism with such

new elements that can carry' forward the de

velopment of democracies in the world.
