Minister of Culture Martina Šimkovičová (53) Almost a year ago, she dismissed the post of director of the International Arts of Arts for Children Bibiana Zuzana Liptáková. At a Tuesday press conference She was again publicly criticized by the head of the resort for the fact that She employed two people who were in psychiatric outpatient treatment.

Also joined by comedian František Košarišťan (35), known under the pseudonym Fero Joke, who devoted a long message to Šimkovičová na.
“The legacy of Minister Šimkovič, who criticizes the employment of people attending psychiatrists. Instead of the solutions, we see only headless destruction of what works. I am a person who also attends a psychiatric clinic for anxiety and depression (I mentioned it several times in interviews), and therefore I want to comment on such things, ” He started in the status.
“Since I was 18 years old I have been working in hospital, institutions and currently a volunteer with mentally disadvantaged and children in children’s oncology. I only encounter positive feedback from my parents and children and I have always done my work and do responsibly and with love. Many untreated depression, for example, can end with suicide. Stigmatization and similar attacks only contribute to this, ” continued.
“Another thing is that the Minister probably stayed in the times of socialism when the cadre and reports were made on people… Of course, such information must not be published. Apologies from such a person I do not expect, Although it would help a very helpful situation. Do not forget! To admit that I have any problem (not only mental) is a sign of man’s strength, not weakness, ” finished by Fero who added that If you don’t feel good, ask for help because You’re not alone.
