President Kiska’s Facebook conference watched by thousands

On Tuesday thousands of people watched a live conference hosted online by President Andrej Kiska via Facebook, where he responded to questions and called on people to go out and vote in the March 5 Parliamentary elections. "I'm convinced that every one of us should go out to vote. The right to vote is a responsibility, but as well as an obligation to find for one self 15 or 30 minutes in order to go and put one's ballot in the box", said Kiska. "If we don't vote, our vote may go in favour of a party that we don't wish to see in Parliament. Therefore, I want to ask you to call on your kith and kin to vote", said Kiska. Even though Kiska is eligible to run for a second term as president, a viewer was asked what Kiska will do after his term is up in 2019 and whether he would run for Parliament in 2020. "I don't know what will happen in more than three years ... I am not taking this question into consideration", said Kiska, who said he is dedicated to fulfilling his role as president. He also said he wants to continue with this format of online conferences in the future.
