Organisers announced another march for Friday, March 9, exactly one week after the first one, called “We Don’t Want the 1990’s Back”. The march will start in SNP Square in Bratislava at 17:00.
This time, the march is called “For a Decent Slovakia” and its organisers, Katarína Nagy Pázmány, Peter Nagy and students Karolína Farská and Juraj Šeliga also have some demands: they are asking for a thorough and independent investigation of the murder with the participation of foreign investigators and also “a new, trustworthy cabinet who will not act on the part of people in whom suspicions of corruption and connections to organised crime exist" Juraj Šeliga said, as quoted by the SITA newswire.

“Today, it is obvious that Prime Minister Robert Fico and Interior Minister Robert Kaliňák do not represent the values for which thousands of people stood up on Friday, they write in a press release. “Thus, we will continue with civic meetings and call on all citizens to join us and persevere, to not take our decency for lack of determination and perseverance.”
Two marches took place last week in Bratislava with tens of thousands of people participating while thousands more commemorated the murdered couple, Kuciak and Kušnírová, in dozens of other cities and towns across Slovakia and worldwide, SITA wrote on March 5.
