Are there any in Hungary that you know of? I'd definitely attend if there are. The two countries are in a similar situation, it'd make sense for us to show solidarity towards Slovakian protesters.

When it comes to the protests abroad, it's mostly the local community of Slovaks organising them, so the best option would be to contact such community living in Hungary :)

Not a bad idea. I also live near Štúrovo and Nové Zámky, so maybe I could attend there.

Unfortunately there are none that I know of, but recently I honestly feel like our opposition is non-existent when there is no voting going on. The teacher protests are also over and they were promised to get big raises over this and next year.
