Liptov. After healthcare professionals, police or civil servants, the ordinary residents also came.

« Enough of hiding! We will wear the jerseys. We just want it to be clear who is who is! » It presents anonymous in the channel description for what purpose it was created.
And although it is distanced from threatening, bullying or incitement of attacks, in practice it acts the opposite and uses derogatory expressions and dehumanizing statements to « offenders », one civic activist did not shy to call the rat.
The channel is publicly available and can be seen by anyone with a telegram account. At the time we write about it, it has more than 2.5 thousand subscribers. We decided not to mention the name.
The channel also recommended watching a prosecuted extremist Daniel Bombic, according to which it contains a name list of traitors.
Activist: They want to intimidate us
Liptáci also found themselves in the list. Civic activists, regional politician and theater director, involved in several cultural projects.
Marek Durdiak works in the field of finance, is also in the initiative of Liptov for Ukraine. He knows about the existence of the list.
« I think that the main purpose of the group is to intimidate people who are publicly expressing themselves in some way. In our current situation, I see as the greatest threat that people will be scared and stop being active, » Durdiak thinks.
This is not the first time his name has been uncomfortable. Twenty years ago, he also got into the neo -Nazis viewfinder who created lists of anti -fascists.
« Certainly it may happen that some sad existence will evaluate as a command to attack and attack someone or damage property. However, I think the main purpose is to intimidate, » he adds.
The Liptov initiative for Ukraine works publicly and communicates publicly. People who disagree with the initiative have already manifested themselves. « We also experienced the fact that someone had punctured rubber on the car, » says Marek Durdiak. If he gets a hateful message in connection with the telegram channel, he will turn to the police.
However, it does not plan to take legal steps yet. In the current government and enforceability of law in our republic, he does not see any sense, he says. However, they think that the competent authorities should act.
« Such lists have been made by Communists or fascists in the past. Russian soldiers also had lists and on the basis of them destroyed the inhabitants in the occupied territories, » he adds.
The telegram channel also focused on the well -known Ruzomberok civic activist and blogger Ján Benčík. He has registered him since Bombic has published a recommendation. Such lists have not been new to him, they have emerged for a long time.
« They differ only in the scope and level of processing. They are usually a lies and obvious stupidity. This list is exceptional in that it publishes especially activists organizing protest gatherings against the current government and references to their accounts on social networks, » says Ján Benčík.
He is not yet planning to act in the case. He gets hateful links on its website regularly. « There are really more of them lately, » he adds.
Vincent Kultan about the list and that he was on it had no idea. Telegram channel describes it as another member KDHthat « converted to progressiveism ». Kultan, as a district chairman of the Christian Democrats, responds that he continues to profess the party’s values and joined anti -government protests last year when he disagreed with the upcoming amendment The Criminal Code.
Can be dangerous
The telegram channel attacking liberals may pose a safety risk.
« We have been monitoring the channel since its inception, but only now has begun to grow dramatically the number of followers, it has been promoted by Bombic and his contributions are massively shared by other telegram groups. This means that there is a real security risk for people who appear on the list, » writes the authors behind the Hoax and Fraud project.
As they add, this is not the first time that extremists attack ordinary people and use social networks to spread hatred and intimidation.
