Oľga Gyárfášová and Grigorij Mesežnikov lectured and discussed with citizens of Banská Bystrica in newly reconstructed Town Hall. The discussion on the topic "SLOVAK SOCIETY BEFORE THE ELECTION 2012: WHERE ARE WE, WHERE ARE WE GOING?” was moderated by political expert Martin Klus from Matej Bel University.  Participants expressed particular concern about recent events in Slovakia; several made clear their disillusionment with the political development and asked for possible adjustment path. Repeated topics discussed were: changing the election system and the possibility of citizens to influence public and political life.
