Synopsis
“I once said in a pub as a joke, that a country that cannot democratically help its development and to reach a degree of normality, has only one option: to invite the assistance of a foreign army. That was when I returned from a month-long stay in Finland. I was thrilled about the country. I thought that, if Finnish administrators, inspectors and judges were deployed in Slovakia, our country would at last embark on the path to democracy. Twenty years ago Slovakia was unprepared to govern itself. With the current pace we are likely to reach democracy in about 200 years. People are not used to bear responsibility for their own decisions; we have no continuity of governance, institutions, no respect for authorities. That is the result of those who have been pretending to be the authority for years.” The film is part of a Slovakia 2.0 project.
