Szabad Kapacitás, 1992 (4. évfolyam, 1-10. szám)

1992 / 2. szám (angol)

(...)The majority of Slovakian voters believed

that there exists a rapid and unpainful way to a

welfare society, without taking individual respon

sibility, by state patronage. The idea became pre

valent that the changes of the last two years and

the "federation" is to blame for the difficulties and

not the 40 years of Communism.

In. opposition.

Both in the Slovak National Council and in the

Slovakian part of the Federal Assembly the leftist

parties (seen from a viewpoint of economical and

social-organisatory orientation) came to a domi-

nancy. 'Die coalition of Mr. Meciars HZDS and

Mr. Prokes Slovak National Parly can push thro

ugh its ide?«. in the Slovak National Council wit

hout difficulties and can blockade the decisions of

the Federal Assembly.

In the relations of the Slovak Government and

the Slovak Parliament the domonant role will be

taken by the Government, or, more strictly, by the

leading party of Mr. Meciar. (...)

As the present Government is not opposed in

the Parliament by a real, strong opposition, the

Christian Democratic Movement and the extraf-

pariiamentary should carry the role of criticism of

the Government for its steps done against the re

forms started in the previous election period. This

is possible only then, if these liberal and right

centre parties are able to establish a strong, well-

organised political force, capable of realizing the

ideas of 1989 revolution after the decline of the

present power structures.

In this process, the MPP enjoying 1 4 of the

Hungarian votes, would like to play an initiative

role, preserving at the sasme time its own identity

and independence.

Relations to the other Hungarian

parties in Slovakia.

The relations of the MPP to the other Hungari

an parties in Slovakia is influenced by the fact that

the attempts to form an election alliance failed.

The rejecting attitude of the Coexistence and

Hungarian Christian Democratic Movementpwas

a determinative factor in this failure.

In our opinion, it is inevitable to create an at

mosphere of mutual confidence in order to carry

on the cooperation. We suggest that we make a

habit of regular meeting, or of other forms of co

operation. (...)

The Independent Slovakia

and the Hungarians.

The demolition of the federal organs has been

carried out in a rapid tempo since the Elections,

and the reversion of this process even by a refe

rendum seems to be illusory.

Into this process fits also the non-electing of Mr.

Havel as President, and, first of all, the Declarati

on of Sovereignity of Slovakia. The abdication of

Mr. Ha\el is a logical consequence of this process,

that started as early as in the previous election pe

riod with the activities of those political forces

that crossed the declaration of the referendum

and the adoption of such Constitutional amend

ments that could handle effectively the constituti

onal crises like the present.

After the analysis of the Declaration of Sovere

ignity of Slovakia the MPP states, that-

some of its statements are contrary' to the pre

sent Constitutional order-

the wording of the Declaration makes it evi

dent that the political forces backing the indepen
