Shots from the Folklore Festival Východná began to spread the Internet, where it also appeared at its start Minister of Culture Martina Šimkovičová. The head of the resort did not receive warm acceptance. Viewers after its introduction They began to whistle and shouted words like “Fuj!” And “shame!” You can find the video below.
Robert Fico’s former advisor to the social network incident responded to Eduard Chmelár, who took the side of the Minister of Culture. “I disagree with Minister of Culture Martina Šimkovičová in many ways. Actually, at the moment I can’t remember whether I agree with it at all. But for a long time I have been feeling the need to stand up as women and this feeling culminated last night, when part of the audience at the Folklore Festival in the East. I say part of the demands, because another part applauded and most people were embarrassing, “he wrote on Friday on Facebook.
“Mrs. Šimkovičová would in a way deserve recognition for courage, because at least she had to guess what awaited her there and still went there. And although the Ministry of Culture gave a record budget for the organization of the 70th year of the oldest folklore festival in Slovakia, it received multiple humiliation instead of recognition. It is at least strange if people come to the festival and its organizer are boiling“he thinks.
He found it very tactful. “When I saw it, in my mind, I thought I couldn’t imagine that we would boast of a minister of culture that we disagree with. Even “invisible minister” Natalia Milan did not happen, although she did not even know the basic legislation, she could not get a single euro from the plan of renewal, during the pandemic she literally impressed artists, but they were waiting like a lice under the rattle, “he mentioned her predecessor.
It considers this to be a bigger problem. “Well, you will say, almost every significant politician sometimes happens that he is punished by some emotional crowd (” scum ” – as Martin Šimečka would say). But this applaudes actors, singers, Rector of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, the people you would expect from whom you would expect a degree of culture that they are so often and so they like to hide“He said into publicly known faces.
Then he drew his attention to the former head of the SND Matej Drlička. “I was really uncomfortable with the reaction of the former Director General of SND Matej Drlička, who wrote on the social network: “But the whistle is not merely her. It belongs to all those who are willing to cooperate with her, help her, who are taking pictures with her … They all have their share of guilt in this shameful state.”
He addressed him a strong message. “Mato, what are you doing? We were friends and I didn’t know this. Are we really going to ostracize people who know someone who shake hands or who take a picture with someone? Quite seriously? “He asked him.
According to Chmelár, these are already seriously dangerous ways in which he said only Bolshevik agitators were distributed in the 1950s. “I wish you from the heart to get the dream chair of Minister of Culture once and showed us all how it is done. But this is across the line. Remember how I covered you years ago against allegations that your agency rocked the state at an overpriced concert and overpriced dinner of the President of Parliament, “Chmelár said.
Fico’s expatcher added more. “Then you worked with this set. Today, you make yourself a hero that you have refused to offer Pellegrini to become a Minister of Culture, who (both of them can) still want to become. So what is it all about? Do you think that you are helping culture with such behavior? “He bequeathed Drlička, who was dismissed on August 6, 2024.
