Luckily, the September elections put a stop to that effort at the eleventh hour.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor, led by a former politician convicted of killing a man on a pedestrian crossing in downtown Bratislava while driving, has been widely criticised for being instrumental in these practices. It would far exceed the scope of this report and appeal to go into many dismal details of both NAKA and Office of the Special Prosecutor actions. Suffice it to say that the general public got increasingly concerned. Inevitably, its discontent eventually grew to reach the boiling point and the Slovak people acted accordingly in the September 30 elections. Most people stand firm in their support for the new government’s intention to scrap the controversial Special Prosecutor’s Office. Now even more than at the time of the election.

Under the nation’s Constitution democracy in this land is based on respect to rule of law and justice, rather than on anyone’s wishful attempts at abusing the principles of rule of law in pursuit of partisan goals. The new government, though not necessarily perfect since no government in the world can claim to be perfect, has been elected by the voters who have entrusted it with putting Slovakia back on track also in respect to democracy, freedom, human rights and rule of law.

We would therefore urge you to reconsider with due care, thorough knowledge of facts and proper respect any one-sided criticism of the actions and intentions of the new Slovak government. No amount of feverish political proselytising by a bunch of frustrated discontents can mask, hide or put a plausible makeup on the gross violations of rule of law and principles of democracy under the previous government. Bearing this in mind, we call on you to refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of Slovakia in a patronising manner. It is us, the people of a sovereign Slovakia, who hold the government to account on a democratic, consensual majority basis.

History has taught us valuable lessons to be vigilant and reject any intervention in our domestic affairs. Friendly exchange of opinion will always be welcome and appreciated, if it stays within the limits and standards of civilised, partnership-based coexistence of independent nations.

(This letter is identical with the text of a petition that is now well under way and signed so far by thousands of Slovaks)
