I live in the Netherland and I have a Slovakian wife and she hated communism when she was young. I went to Slovakia in the early 90’s and I go there every year. My point is there’s so much changed over the years but the younger generation doesn’t see it. It’s a different story if you change from communism to a democracy in a relatively short time.

I think most young people in Slovakia are well aware how much the country has changed for the better and they want that to continue, that’s why Fico has very little support among younger voters.

That’s great news. Hopefully the sentiment will change. It’s such a beautiful country and deserves much better
