The Hungarian community and its political representation played a key (positive) role in the political and economic transformation of Slovakia and its Euro-Atlantic integration process. However, it had been due to specific circumstances. In other words, it has been a positive deviation. After most of these circumstances gradually changed and the Hungarian community and its political representation became more mainstream (deeply polarized like the Slovak or Hungarian society), this exceptional positive deviation gradually evaporated. Paradoxically, this “return to normality” most recently is partially contributing to democratic backsliding in the country. At the same time the antagonism and ethnic tensions between the Slovak majority and Hungarian minority (and Slovakia and Hungary) drastically declined; Slovak and Hungarian nationalisms became more and more partners in the struggle against migration, LGBTI, Brussels, liberals, etc.
