Afterwards, Omanik, Drucker, and Pellegrini took a photo together.In a comment to the Slovak newspaper Dennik N, Symon explained his actions.
He stated that Pellegrini won the election by deceiving people and manipulating the topic of the war in Ukraine.
According to the guy, this was the reason for his protest.
It was a lie and an attack on the lowest human instincts of fear and, perhaps, even antiUkrainian sentiments in some parts of the Slovak population.
And I dont think it would be right to shake hands with such a person or communicate with him, because I dont agree with him and consider him a fraud and a liar, the Slovak schoolboy added.
