Bratislava, December 20 (TASR) - Prime Minister Iveta Radicova has opened an exhibition of music-themed caricatures entitled 'Caricatures and Jazz' on Monday at Government Office in Bratislava.
The display features works of nine cartoonists from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany and Bulgaria, with the Prime Minister emphasising that the selection was not random. "Caricatures ... represent a clear reflection on what's happening in society. A power that doesn't like caricatures is autocratic," said Radicova. [The statement is a thinly-veiled dig at her predecessor Robert Fico, who famously lost a libel suit concerning a caricature of him as not having a spine. - ed. note]
After making the chapel of Government Office available to the public, the exhibition of 52 caricatures is yet another initiative in the Prime Minister's effort to open up the office to the public.
Radicova also plans to make the building's garden accessible to the public in spring 2011.
