Investigative reporter and journalist of TV Markíza Kristína Kövešová experienced a horror experience while filming a report for the Reflex show. Persons whose activities she had intensively mapped for a long time attacked her, and all this in front of the police officers present. But when they weren’t there, she fears that she wouldn’t leave there on her own, if at all.
For she said that this she started working on the case because dozens of people approached her for help. “They said that they were beaten there, threatened with death, attacked, afraid not only for their property, but also for their lives,she said.
The experienced reporter has finished with a broken nose, a concussion and a crushed spine. The man (25) who attacked her was taken into custody the next day after the attack. More than a week after the attack, Kövešová is undergoing treatment at home, but she has no regrets and will continue to work. “I look at it from the point of view that maybe this will save the lives of other people. Thank you that other journalists are paying attention to it. For those people, this is the last chance to save them and change their lives,” she explained.
“Perhaps this is a memento so that a tragedy does not happen and someone does not actually die there. This is the kind of moment when those up there might realize that this is what they are experiencing there, and even worse, those people on a daily basis. And really there is probably some failure of the state when people fear for their lives, added the editor.
A few days ago, she reported in detail how it looks in Farárské (part of Trnava). “The postman does not come to them, taxi companies refuse to take them home. This is how people live in the Farárske district of Trnava since 2020. The group destroys the property and cars of their neighbors. Disputes are resolved exclusively by fighting,” the television reports.
Many have already moved out, but some have nowhere to go and are prisoners in their own homes. The police are said to be unable to bring them to justice either. The attacked residents therefore turned to the General Prosecutor’s Office to stop the escalating attacks.
