Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio

One of the bills the Slovak lawmakers will deal with in their upcoming session concerns a set of rights for cohabiting couples, which could also help same-sex couples. Slovakia is one of six EU contries without any legislation for the LGBTI community. What is the current debate on the rights of LGBTI people in Slovakia like? These questions come in with ever bigger urgency following the terrorist attack motivated by hate against queer people, which took place in Bratislava only few days ago. On the show today, we will also bring you some information on the upcoming regional and municipal elections.
