A collection of photos and notes connected to Slovak politics, especially billboards which form an important part of campaigning in this EU country

Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) - Bratislava, 2010
The text reads: "Slovakia needs your voice!". Borrowing the American Uncle Sam character is an unusual move in Slovak politics, since it connects SaS to American values, both political and economic. There is a certain comic irony in this image that makes me think it was ineffective and a poor choice for conveying their message. The 'Superman Sulík' SaS billboard was also ironic, but didn't come laden with direct overtones of U.S. influence.
