In this fermenting atmosphere the abuses of the past and the need for new solutions to national and nationality questions are debated through lip service to Moscow lest the Hungarian example be repeated in Prague. The almost 1 million Hungarian minority in Czechoslovakia also is making its voice heard. Deprived of their citizenship. forced into declaring themselves of Slovak nationality. partially expelled or deported to the Sudeten area in 1946. the minority retained its humanistic leanings and selfrespect despite the years of terror and oppression. They call for recognition of their group status in the new constitution. freely elected nationality representation in State agencies and assemblies. and educational and scientific institutions to be led by their own leadership. They also call for cultural autonomy and selfadministration of the districts with Htungarian majority.
