I may be wrong, but I suspect that the people of Central and Eastern Europe are still neighbours who know each other very little. How much do we know about Slovakia in Lithuania? Perhaps the recent launch of a direct flight from Kaunas to Bratislava will help us get to know each other better. To find out more about Slovaks and the Slovak left, I interviewed Tomáš Hučko, editor of Kapitál, a cultural and political magazine that brings together the Slovak left. In an hour-long conversation, we touched on topics ranging from the legacy of the Czechoslovak left, to the main political issues in Slovakia today, to support for Ukraine and Palestine.
