On Saturday May 30, several European cities will be affected by demonstrations against the practices of the Norwegian social service and authorities. There will be also a large demonstration taking place in Prague on Hradčanské náměstí. A parade of demonstrators will head from here to the Norwegian embassy in order to manifest their dissatisfaction with the situation. The wave of disapproval with the Norwegian activities was triggered by the possibility of adoption of the children of Eva Michaláková.
“The demonstration will take place not only in Prague but also in Brno, London, Oslo, Moscow, Warsaw, Vilnius, Dublin, Bratislava and Edinburgh,” says Tomáš Zdechovský, Member of the European Parliament (EPP). On June 2nd, there will be a round table conference taking place in the European Parliament that will be directed at the case of Mrs Michaláková and other parents.
“What happened to Mrs Michaláková can happen to anybody, who lives in Norway. They are falsely accused and instead of apology, their child is taken away because of media attention. Such injustice has been done to the Czech citizens last time during the Second World War,” Zdechovský explains his reasons for his interest in the subject. Zdechovský has been working on cases of children taken away since last June.
