Thomas K,
Of course many Slavs were 'Hungarified' back in the day, especially in the nineteenth century when Hungarian nationalism was strong. But I don't see how that should make that one million who self-identified as Hungarians on the eve of Trianon any less 'Hungarian', unless you think blood-line matters more than self-identification.
And, yes, after WWI lots of Hungarians were driven, thrown, urged out by the Slovaks, just like lots of Slovaks living in Hungary were given the same treatment.
As for political rights, I think for starters the Hungarians' national identity should be respected by the Slovak government, includng by its foreign minister, and they should not have to be subject to insults such as that they 'constitute a cancer on the Slovak national body' (Kubis).
