Details
Juraj Cintula stated that he disagreed with the government's policy, particularly in the area of freedom of speech.
I do not agree with the government's policy. Why are the media being liquidated, why is RTVS (a Slovak TV channel) being attacked? Why are people being fired?
Recall
On May 15, several shots were fired in the Slovak city of Handlova when Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico came out to speak to the people.
Fico was wounded and is in serious condition after the assassination attempt. As Defense Minister Robert Kaliniak said at a briefing, Fico is currently undergoing surgery, which has been going on for 3.5 hours.
