“We will only come to trust (investigation bodies) after the systemic changes in the police corps have been completed,” the students wrote. “And when Special Prosecutor Dušan solves the cases involving those in power instead of sweeping them under the carpet.”

They add that they support the activities and demands of the For a Decent Slovakia initiative and call on public officials to stop bowing to the pressure of power groups.

“They should stop doing what is easy and start doing what is right,” the students’ initiative sums up, as quoted by SITA.
