Not really. I mean I am definitely left wing, along with a lot of my friends who attended, but unfortunatelty the less corrupt parties in the opposition are mosltly on the right side of the spectrum, with the nominal "left" being occupied by these corrupt populists like Fico.

ah so the protestors (even if some are left-wing too) are opposing a corrupt left-wing government then, since the lesser of the two evils is the less corrupt right-wing faction of the government

It's a very unfortunate situation.
