The president asked lawmakers to please actually read the amendment next time.

Slovak President Andrej Kiska addresses the media at the Hofburg palace in Vienna in 2018. By Emily Tamkin Emily Tamkin Reporter covering foreign affairs Email Bio Follow April 8 at 10:00 AM Traditionally, a presidential veto is seen as a sign that the president is overriding the wishes of the country’s lawmakers.

Slovakia’s far-right Slovak National Party or SNS put forth an amendment to protect Slovak state symbols — but also included an article on national anthems that many lawmakers seem to have missed. The law was seen as an outrage in neighboring Hungary . Hungarians make up about 9 percent of the population of Slovakia and are the country’s largest ethnic minority. The Hungarian minority of about half a million people could be fined thousands of euros for singing the Hungarian anthem at a match of FC DAC 1904, a soccer team based in what is now southern Slovakia with a large ethnic Hungarian population.

— DAC 1904 April 7, 2019 There is a Slovakian-Hungarian party — Most-Hid — in parliament, but, in a twist, they voted for the law. Party leader Bela Bugar said they supported it by “mistake,” and Most-Hid complained on Facebook: “If a law could be misunderstood by parliamentarians, lawyers with big names, then it is likely that ordinary people may be misunderstood.”

Arguable their own Anthem might be illegal, as it is heavily based if not a straight copy of a Hungarian folklore song. Heck even the Slovakian coat of arms is 'borrowed' from Hungary. This is what happens when Western-Europe decides to create a country out of thin air.
