Heger after the shooting at Zámocká: The line was crossed, we have to stop it in the bud – Topky.sk

“On Wednesday, a certain line was crossed in this matter. This does not belong to Slovakia, we have to go back a shorter way. We have to stop it in the bud. And that germ is our every word,” emphasized the Prime Minister. “It is unacceptable for someone to take someone’s life just because they are part of the LGBTI+ community. I strongly condemn such an act because Slovakia is a democratic country,” he added. According to his own words, he also contacted the head of the Slovak Information Service, Michal Aláč, in the morning. He wants to meet with him and talk about whether the secret service monitored the attacker’s speech on the social network and how it proceeded. When asked what steps the prime minister plans to take in this regard, he responded that he will value every word he says in the future.
