Slovak Catholic meeting rejects Istanbul Conve, Pavol Vilcek

Hundreds of Slovaks came to the centre of the capital city to join a prayer meeting that Christian activists organised against the Istanbul Convention on preventing and combating violence against women on February 11, 2020, in Bratislava, Slovakia. Slovakia has not ratified the convention, but it has become a hot issue ahead of the general election in the Roman Catholic country. Pavol Vilcek, left, who heads the Caritas church organisation in Spisska Nova Ves, east Slovakia, and who was one of the speakers at the meeting, told CTK that they have been touring Slovakia for three years, speaking of the risks of the Istanbul Convention and praying that it is rejected.
