Horrible
Silencing debate on history just makes the wounds harder to heal.
The very first word of the article is “outrageous,” so it’s immediately obvious that this isn’t a very serious or trustworthy news source. It seems pretty messed up by Slovakia, but one would have to check with a different source to verify.
Interesting to see it framed as anti-Hungarian legislation, while in Austria it’s seen as anti-Austrian first and foremost. Not that I know which one is more correct.
These are still being used nowadays?

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bene%C5%A1_decrees?wprov=sfla1
The decrees treated German and Hungarian citizens as collective criminals, enforcing racial segregation and disenfranchisement. As a result, almost all ethnic Germans and Hungarians, those who had settled there during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, but also those who had ancestors that had lived in Czechoslovakia for centuries prior to World War II—large proportions from both groups lost their Czechoslovak citizenship and property. The state then expelled them from their homes.

WWII era meaning they are confiscating properties to this day.
> these include criminalising alleged foreign interference in election campaigns, restricting the use of testimony from cooperating suspects—often referred to as “repentant witnesses”—and introducing penalties for publicly denying or questioning the legal framework established by post-war settlement documents, widely understood to refer to the Beneš decrees.
Looks a bit like an attempt to hold onto power, especially given how poorly the ruling coalition performs in the polls.
And the fun thing is that Orban is totally silent. Not a word from the government.
