  • Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
  • When: March 5, 2020, 19:00 – 21:00

Until the final moment, it was unclear how elections in Slovakia would go. Will the rise of the extreme right continue, or can a government be formed from democratic opposition parties? Meanwhile in the Czech Republic it seems that neither scandals nor opposition parties can undermine the position of PM Andrej Babiš. What have the latest elections told us about Slovak society? What shape is Czech and Slovak democracy in 30 years after the attainment of freedom? And what role should journalists play in this area?

Debate participants: writer and journalist Martin M. Šimečka, SME daily journalist Zuzana Kovačič Hanzelová and Deník N journalists Kirill Ščeblykin and Filip Zajíček.

Lenka Kabrhelová will moderate.
