The slovakian police attacked yesterday the demonstrating but peaceful hungarian football fans at a slovakian football match in a formerly hungarian city Dunaszerdahely. Maybe one fan is dead, but its not sure now.

Can you explain what was going on/why the demonstration? Looked like a nasty little incident. Did anyone die?

In the last couple of months the slovakian leader, Jan Slota made a lot of antihungarian, provocative comments in the media. The comments pissed most of the Hungarians off because most of Slovakia was Hungary 80 years ago and nowadays still live there a lot of hungarian people. So the hungarian football fans went to this game to make support to the local, hungarian-based football team and to protest against Slota. They were not fighting, just protesting. And the police came...

European police have long before been quick to wade in and club English fans at fixtures abroad.
They'll ignore their own fans chucking coins and bottles, yet club the English for any simple movement to protect themselves.

It's nothing new, it's been happening to English fans throughout football history.

Hungarian, Slovak far right vandals fight police at soccer game

Dunajska Streda, Slovakia, November 1 (MTI) - Despite a heavy police presence and multiple arrests before the game, groups of far right Hungarian football hooligans fought it out with police on Saturday afternoon, leaving one man hospitalized in life-threatening condition.

The game was between the local team, Dunajska Streda, which is from a region of southern Slovakia with a large ethnic Hungarian population, and the Bratislava team Slovan. About 1,000 Hungarians from multiple far right groups organized a foray into Slovakia, ostensibly to pull for the ethnic Hungarian team.

About 1,000 police officers and an unspecified number of private security guards and military police were on hand, and were assaulted by both the Slovak and the Hungarian vandals. Slovak media sources reported 13 arrests before the game even began.

About 15 minutes into the game, police in riot gear entered the portion of the stands where the Hungarians were, and one man suffered life-threatening injuries in the ensuing conflict. Several people were hospitalized.

After the game, which Bratislava won 4:0, police equipped with water cannon escorted Bratislava fans to the railway station.



Nationalistic tensions fuel violence at Slovakian football match : Sports

Bratislava - More than 50 people were injured in nationalistic-fuelled violence at a football game in south-western Slovakia. Thirty-one people were arrested in Saturday's rioting - 18 fans for the home team in Dunajska Streda, one of the most important centres for Slovakia's ethnic Hungarian minority, and 13 from the away team from Bratislava, a police spokeswoman in Bratislava said.

Violence had been feared ahead of the championship game between AC Dunajska Streda and Slovan Bratislava as hundreds of football hooligans and neo-Nazis from Hungary were expected to travel to the match.

Nationalistic tensions have intensified between Hungary and Slovakia recently and have been fuelled by nationalists from both sides through provocative public statements.

Fanning the flames has been Slovakia's failure to meet its pledge to include Hungarian versions of place names in school textbooks used in ethnic Hungarian schools, disproportionate distribution of EU funds to ethnic Slovak and Hungarian schools in Slovakia and insults by Jan Slota, the head of the Slovak National Party, which is in the ruling coalition, against Hungarian Foreign Minister Kinga Goncz in which he likened her to Adolf Hitler.

Slovakian politicians have also long accused the Hungarian government of doing too little to combat right-wing extremists.

Police numbers were increased from 760 to 1,000 to provide security for the football match, which Bratislava won 4-0, but violence broke out between both sets of fans and with the police.

A police spokeswoman told the media that fans from the home team had hurled stones while internet forums accused police of targeting Hungarian fans.

The most serious injuries occurred in a crush of Hungarian fans that developed after a controversial police intervention, television reports said.

On Saturday night, right-wing Hungarian demonstrators assembled outside the Slovakian embassy in Budapest, some of whom threatened bloody revenge.

Slovakian Ambassador Juraj Migas said on Slovakian television that 500 to 600 protestors had gathered outside the embassy but Hungarian police had the situation under control.

Let's hope it doesn't become another 'Yugoslavia' type situation. Why is it these ancient 'tribes' of mid europe cannot live together. Can you imagine what it would be like if we had ethnic cleansing in the UK among English, irish, Scots & Welsh?

This has got much more to do with the fact that Hungarians are absolutely despised in Slovakia and always have been. There are plenty of Hungarian ethnics in Slovakia which has always been a source of tension - I think this has its roots in the Austro Hungarian empire. It has to be said, the Hungarians are disliked across large parts of Eastern Europe.
