Slovak Coalition MPs Call Czech Parliamentary Appeal a 'Farce' Over Beneš Decrees
Share:
Slovak coalition lawmakers dismissed a Czech parliamentary appeal regarding the Beneš Decrees as a "farce," with MP Posselt stating the decrees are not a relevant topic for discussion. The controversy emerged after plans were announced to hold a gathering on Czech territory, which coalition members said was unfortunate as it could reopen old wounds among people. The Beneš Decrees were post-World War II presidential decrees that resulted in the expulsion of ethnic Germans and Hungarians from Czechoslovakia and remain a sensitive historical issue between Slovakia and its neighbors.
