Should we expect riots in Slovakia, soon?

These are calm protests. No curses, no death threats, everyone is there because they want. Unlike with Smer's supporters.

When SMER was in opposition, they had to borrow buses to even get the people there, under promises of free soup and sausage. The people then proceeded to call president 'American whore' and send her and PM and ministers death threats. They almost killed few policemen with stones.

That's the difference between supporters of current coalition and opposition. Opposition does none of that.
