The legislation was snuck in by the right-wing Slovak National Party \u2026 and no one noticed.<\/p>\n<p>Among those who voted for the bill were MPs from the ruling Most-Hid party, which represents the countrys sizeable Hungarian minority.<\/p>\n<p>The ethnic Hungarians would be the first ones affected by the ban since they often sing the Hungarian anthem during home games and certain religious services. Under the new amendment, they would now be required to invite Hungarian officials to do that. The same would apply to the scores of foreign fans attending the Ice Hockey World Championship, set to kick off in Slovakia in May.<\/p>\n<p>The whole incident happened due to <em>\u201ca series of misunderstandings,\u201d<\/em> Tibor Bastrnak from Most-Hid explained. The lawmaker said that no one simply paid attention to what was written in the bill when it was discussed and voted on. Instead, they were alerted later by the media.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/455724-slovakia-national-anthem-bill\/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=RSS\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Read More \u2013 Source<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/a\/a0\/Russia-today-logo.svg\/1200px-Russia-today-logo.svg.png\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/rt.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RT<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singing your nations anthem could become illegal in Slovakia unless lawmakers can reverse a bill the..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":117805,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
