On Friday, January 10, there will be another protest in Slovakia, and not only in Bratislava. The initiator of the protests is the civil association Mier Ukraine, several Slovak cities have joined the initiative.
Protests will be held in Žilina, Rimavská Sobota, Liptovský Mikuláš, Bardejov, Ružomberok, Dolny Kubín, Banská Bystrica, Košice, Spišská Nova Ves and Poprad.
In Bratislava, Žilina, Bardejov and Spišská Nová Ves, the meetings will start at 17:00, in Rimavská Sobota at 17:30 and in other cities at 18:00.
Other gatherings, which, according to the civic association, are not coordinated with them, will also be held in Revúca and in Prague. “Together we will show that Slovakia is not Russia, Slovakia is Europe,” appeals OZ Mier Ukraine.
Those interested in participating in the protests are encouraged to bring Slovak flags, as well as bugles and whistles, lights and mobile phones, so that they can be seen and heard. The list of places is continuously updated. Specific places where protests will be held in individual cities can be found on social networks.
As OZ stated, they refuse to enter the sphere of Russian influence, Slovakia is a sovereign democratic state that is part of the Euro-Atlantic structures. “Alliance with the strongest forms a safe protective shield for Slovakia. Robert Fico weakens and destroys this protective shield. He is dragging us into imperial Russia, which is waging both hybrid and total war and does not respect international law and agreements. Let’s not allow it!” appeals the civic association.
It also calls for the defense of a free and independent Slovakia and the unification of society as a whole. The first of a series of large protest rallies took place on Friday, January 3, in front of the Slovak Government Office.
