Hungary Will Not Support Ukraine's Admission To NATO Due To Its Language Laws



Interfax-Ukraine: Hungary vetoes Ukraine-NATO Commission meeting in Dec

Hungary has blocked holding of a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Commission in December 2017, the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade said.

"Hungary cannot support Ukraine's integration aspirations, so it vetoed the holding of the NATO-Ukraine summit in December," the ministry's press service quoted Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto as saying on Friday evening.

He also noted that Hungary had previously been one of the most active supporters of Ukraine's European aspirations.

  1. There can only be one language in a nation for the purposes of governance. The primary language should be Ukrainian.

    However, that does not mean there cannot be Hungarian language classes. American high schools typically teach 2 or 3 other languages. This would not be much of a burden and would be a plus.

    In America we take it too far to the other extreme. They set up French classes for new immigrants among other nonsense. That and the a__hole government thinks we have a shortage of shelve stockers.

    Ukraine is not doing anything the French did not do in the last 100 years. Were the French wrong?

  2. Fourth Republic
    "The 1950s were also the first time the French state recognised the right of the regional languages to exist. A law allowed for the teaching of regional languages in secondary schools, and the policy of repression in the primary schools came to an end. "

    The French Toubon law is about right.
