 Some of the persecutions were motivated by the reciprocity principle included in the constitution, but persecutions were caused also by Hungarian propaganda demanding occupation of Slovakia, distribution of pamphlets and other propagandist material, oral propaganda and other provocations.Intensive propaganda was used on both sides and led to several anti-Hungarian demonstrations.The harshest repressions included internment in the camp in Ilava and deportations of dozens of Hungarians to Hungary.
