Very good. It is relevant to note Slovakia was an important laboratory for NED, where many techniques used in the Color Revolutions were honed, and subsequently taught. Many Slovak MPs and government ministers are graduates of NED-funded organisations, US/EU-supported networks, etc. and this has been the case since the late-90s.

For the government in Bratislava to move against such a significant proportion of the security apparatus so publicly is unprecedented, and also extremely risky. I'm going to be keeping a keen on eye on this.

Oh thats good to know I didnt even think about NED being there and no specific indication of foreign interference came up in looking into it. It was very difficult though everything was behind expensive paywalls and there is almost nothing on Twitter or anywhere else, I certainly wouldnt have seen it if not for you. It seems as if their whole society is playing it close to the chest on this.

Hopefully I've at least provided a starting point someone can use to get more to the heart of it. The other thing is I'm really not an investigative journalist, I think this particular story needs someone on the ground.

A pretext can always be found.

Seems there are Coups, then Purges. 2016/2020 Coup, now a 2023/2024 Purge in the US.

Good luck, Slovakia!
