J谩nos 脕rp谩d Pot谩pi, state secretary for Hungarian communities abroad at the Prime Minister’s Office, has sent a letter congratulating Kriszti谩n Forr贸, leader of a Slovak-Hungarian Party, for forming an alliance with two other Slovak-Hungarian parties.
Having forged an agreement after almost two years of talks, the three parties — the Party of the Hungarian Community (MKP), Most-Hid and Spolupatrinost (Togetherness) movement — have come together to form a new party under the name of Aliancia-Sz枚vets茅g (Alliance), with the inaugural congress held on Saturday. Forr贸, MKP’s leader, is now also head of Alliance.
Pot谩pi said strengthening of Hungarian political cooperation in Slovakia carried “great responsibility and is now more important than ever”.
“This is a fateful time for Hungarians: after a decade of divides, the Hungarian community [in Slovakia] can become united again,” he added.

He said the Alliance would allow for the political diversity of Hungarians in Slovakia while ensuring united action.
“Hungary is steadfast in giving every possible support to ensure the survival and prosperity of Hungarians abroad,” the letter said.
