He told a press conference that the Alliance had become a major party in southern Slovakia, and they were becoming a strong force nationally, too. It is highly likely that Hungarians in Slovakia will enjoy “very strong” parliamentary representation, he added.
Potápi explained the need for unity with the fact that also the ethnic Hungarian community makes up 8,5 percent of Slovakia’s population, no Hungarian party or one with Hungarian participation managed to win seats in parliament in the last general election.
