Wow, I just randomly caught #Arabic Palestinian #hiphop playing on our national state-owned radio station.
Mind you, this is state which proudly proclaims "No culture but Slovak culture!" (to much embarrassment to the decent #Slovak people).
The song was DAM - Mali Hurriye (ما لي حرية). And it was quite alright.
So apparently #Slovak Prime minister (Fico) was meant to do a PR stunt at my old high school. Someone spray-painted "Fico is a traitor" and "How does Putin's dick taste?" on the pavement in front of the school.
I guess the kids are all right after all... A small rebellion in the grand scheme of things (assuming it was the kids anyway).
#Slovak prime minister #Fico cancelled a planned debate at a high school, after protests from students, teachers and parents, and after the slogan "Fico is a traitor" was found on the ground in front of the school entrance.
(There was reportedly also another inscription on the ground, "How does #Putin's d*** taste?". 😆 )
I say great success, not all of #Slovakia is pro-russian!
Slovensko v poslednom desaťročí čoraz výraznejšie zaostáva za svojimi vyšehradskými susedmi v raste čistých miezd. Dáta globálnej poradenskej spoločnosti Forvis Mazars ukazujú, že kým v rokoch 2016 až 2025 sa čisté mzdy v súkromnom sektore v Česku, Maďarsku a Poľsku takmer zdvojnásobili, na Slovensku vzrástli len o niečo viac ako polovicu.

Two people are searching for each other.
They feel each other, yet fate always keeps them apart.
Rhythm connects them — silence divides them.
“#Kde si” is a #Slovak #UKGarage #song about distance, chance, and moments that never arrive at the right time.
Melancholic, pulsating — like a night that never ends.

For those who understand #Slovak, I had the pleasure of talking with Romano fórum about my long-term research among Romani musical communities in Slovakia – specifically about my film #HopaLide, my project on #RomaniChords, the myth of Romani #MusicalBlood, and – last but not least – why Roma should have a stronger voice in researching their own culture.

BRATISLAVA - Rýchlosťou chôdze sa rozumie rýchlosť neprevyšujúca 6-km za hodinu. To je veta, ktorú včera poslanci uzákonili. A vyvolali pritom nemálo otáznikov aj internetových vtipov a my preto v reportáži ponúkame vysvetlenie, ako sa táto legislatívna zmena prejaví v praxi. Koho sa dotkne, kto môže za rýchlosť dostať pokutu a v akej výške.

Projekt novej polikliniky v Senci je príkladom toho, ako môže vyzerať dobrá spolupráca mesta, samosprávneho kraja i ministerstva ako ústredného orgánu štátnej správy. Pri pondelkovom poklepaní základného kameňa novej polikliniky na Námestí 1. mája v Senci to uviedol predseda Bratislavského samosprávneho kraja (BSK) Juraj Droba.

It is high time the EU Commission pulls #Orban into line. I remain convinced that the combined political nous of the #EU is no match for the corrupt #Hungarian populist and his #Slovak cronie.

Days before the decision, the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe @coe issued an ‘urgent opinion’ that warns that the amendment may conflict with Slovakia’s obligations under the Treaty on European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights.

On September 26, the Slovak parliament approved a constitutional amendment that, alongside restrictions on adoptions and gender definitions, asserts the primacy of Slovak law over EU and international law, emphasizing sovereignty in national identity, potentially risking diversity in a broader sense.

BRATISLAVA - Opozičná SaS označila tvrdenia ministra obrany Roberta Kaliňáka (Smer-SD) v relácii Politika 24 o Špecializovanom trestnom súde za klamstvá. Podľa poslancov Márie Kolíkovej a Ondreja Dostála minister verejne spochybňuje súdne rozhodnutia vo väzobnom prípade Daniela Bombica, čím podľa nich uprednostňuje osobné záujmy pred verejnými.
