Hungary MEP slams Ukrainian education law

Addressing the European Parliament's Intergroup of Traditional Minorities in Strasbourg on Thursday, Kinga Gal, an MEP of Hungary's ruling Fidesz party, complained that Ukraine's recently adopted education law banning post-primary-level education in minority languages was unconstitutional and infracted various international laws and treaties. The right of a minority to use its own language is a fundamental criterion for preserving its identity and culture. Restricting this right will ultimately endanger the existence of the minority in question, Gal told the meeting.
