Call to Premier to support scientists signed by more than 20,000 people

Civic activists handed over sheets with more than 20,000 signatures to the Government Office on Tuesday in an effort to support experts from the State Institute for Drug Control (SUKL) and the Biomedicine Centre of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAV).

In the signing event, launched on Friday (April 9), they called on Prime Minister Eduard Heger (OLaNO) to condemn hate-filled expressions and initiate an investigation into threats addressed to experts from these institutions. They point out the consequences of reckless statements by public officials.

According to the initiators of the call, threats to experts appeared after a recent press conference held by Finance Minister Igor Matovič (OLaNO). At the same time, they call on government officials to disclose the circumstances and contractual obligations under which the Sputnik V vaccine was purchased and tested, in order to prevent further attacks on these institutions.
