POTÁPI: MKP TO REMAIN HUNGARIAN GOVT’S ALLY IN SLOVAKIA

Slovakia’s Party of the Hungarian Community (MKP) will continue to be a strategic ally of the Hungarian government, the state secretary for Hungarian communities abroad said after meeting party leaders in Bratislava. Held before a party congress marking MKP’s 20th anniversary this weekend, the talks focussed on programmes being implemented with Hungarian government support in Slovakia, Árpád János Potápi said. He said that over 130 kindergartens are being revamped and 30 built so that all ethnic Hungarian children should have access to such facilities in Slovakia. Later in the day, Potápi attended an academic year opening event at the Hungarian special college of Bratislava which was launched with Hungarian government support in 2016.
