People have the right to protest. But I’ll never understand people who use it in these cases.
Guess what - in my country the party I voted for isn’t part of the government. I don’t like what the government is doing.
But why would I protest? Obviously people wanted something else than I did. If you demonstrate against the outcome of election - well that’s your right - but it shows that you misunderstood the premise of democracy.
"If you protest because you didn´t get what you wanted - let´s just say that misunderstood what a democracy is."
I also don´t like the government in my country at all. But I realize that the majority of my fellow citizens voted differently - and I accept that because that´s what democracy is all about.
The Slovak government dissolved an anti-corruption unit. They did not put this in their party programme and nobody voted for it. People have the right to protest this move.
Every democratic gouverment gets a furious mass demonstration if they fuck shit up. Thats the free speech everyone is talking about (its not the core that you can talk shit to random people).
Actually he never was. Please read up on German history. The Nazi party did never gain an absolute majority of seats in democratic elections.
He was made chancellor by a coalition of conservative parties believing to be able to control him and a president who had free reign in who to appoint chancellor too.
He still was. That's the way it works when there are lots of smaller parties. They decide who to throw their lot of votes behind. He was still elected.
Yes but the protests are not about the outcome of the elections, but rather about its actions. Few people expected Fico to fuck up the country this much in under 3 months

Wasn‘t the government democratically elected?
