13.04.2023 – Slovak Radio Presenter Marta Jančkárová Receives Threats

Marta Jančkárová, who hosts the weekly debate show Sobotné Dialógy (Saturday Dialogues) for the national public broadcaster RTVS in Bratislava, has received threats.

She received the first threat via e-mail and phone after the airing of Sobotné Dialógy on 18 February 2023. The guest was Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová. New threats came after the airing on 25 February, when RTVS refused to allow Smer member of parliament Ľuboš Blaha to participate. He came to RTVS uninvited instead of the chair of foreign affairs parliamentary committee and Smer member of the parliament Marián Kéry.
