19. April 2009 “Democracy is not freedom, only an environment where it is better to fly than during communism,” Fedor Gál, a sociologist and prognosticator of Jewish origin, concluded on Wednesday, April 15th at the beginning of the debate about his “Short and Long Journey” to the students of the Catholic University in Ružomberok. His “Short and Long Journey” is a story about the death of his father.
After the revolution in 1989, he lived in Slovakia for some years, but there came a turning point and he went to the neighbouring Czech Republic. Gál said only two sentences ahout the situation in our homeland : “I wanted to live according to my wishes. However, I did not do so in Slovakia, so I went to Prague.” As he said, he did not start the route to knowledge: “It was not the march of reason, but the soul,” and he added: “It sounds unbelievable, but I have met my father,” Fedor Gál ended the debate. |
