Five years after Ján Kuciak’s murder, much remains unresolved

Kočner is in jail, Fico is on a roll. What happened to the people connected to the Kuciak case?

It's been 5 years since a Slovak investigative journalist and his fiancée got murdered by a mafioso connected to the highest places in our government. Followed by a purge of many powerful names, people have shown in protests that they can't go on like this anymore. However, after these 5 years, it feels like we're back in the same spot, once again about to try and hopefully save the fragile Slovak democracy in the next elections where one of those who were in power when this heinous murder happened is once again leading the charts (the 3rd most trusted politician is Robert Fico today)

Please, let's take this as a lesson of what happens when we hazard with democracy, when those who provide us with important information, one of the pillars of democracy, are left unprotected or even actively antagonised in a country with a heavily flawed political system.

Today marks 1 year since the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancé archeologist Martina Kušnírová. Thousands of people have gathered all around the country to pay tribute to them. The investigation of their murders is still open, though there has been significant progress and four suspects have been arrested and are currently awaiting trial.

The motto of today's protests was "We will not forget."

Europe Day 24: Memorial for Ján Kuciak, Bratislava You travel to see history, but rarely do you stumble across it unfolding before you. A year ago today a journalist was murdered, the day we got to Slovakia the entire country marched in the streets, and three weeks later the corrupt prime minister resigned in disgrace.

Photo taken during the protests against current government establishment in Slovakia, after the scandal murder of a reporter and his fiancee. Protests took a place all around the world, in all major cities of the world, where Slovak people live. We attended one happening in Brno, Czech Republic.

Badge says "Robíme to pre naše deti" - means "We do it for our children."
