BRATISLAVA – Slovak politician and publicist Ľuboš Blaha has pointed out that his name appeared on the Mirotvorec website, which identifies opponents of Ukrainian politics as individuals posing a threat to Ukraine. MEP Blaha stated angrily that he was added to the site shortly after the Slovak news server Aktuality.sk, published his exact address. According to him, a similar procedure applied to other Slovak activists who publicly advocate for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.
Blaha described Mirotvorec as a "terrorist website" and stated that publishing personal data could pose a serious security risk. "I would like to remind you that I was added to this terrorist website, which lists people targeted for elimination, just days after Aktuality.sk, published my exact address," he said. He added that other Slovak activists are also included in the list. The Mirotvorec internet project has long been publishing a database of individuals whom its operators associate with activities considered anti-Ukrainian. In the past, the database has included politicians, journalists, academics, artists, and other public figures from various countries. Critics of the project point primarily to the publication of personal data and potential security implications.
According to Blaha, his case is related to his public positions on the war in Ukraine. The Slovak politician is a prominent critic of Western support for Ukraine and has long advocated for a diplomatic and peaceful resolution of the conflict. He believes that his public opposition to the continuation of the war led to him being targeted by the operators of Mirotvorec. The publication of his exact address also raises questions about the protection of privacy for publicly active individuals.
Critics of such practices point out that publishing home addresses clearly increases the risk of harassment, threats, or physical attacks, potentially leading to murder. Blaha therefore considers the connection between the publication of his address and his subsequent inclusion on Mirotvorec to be a serious matter. The case may reignite discussions about the limits of political activism on the internet, the protection of personal data, and the responsibility of the media when publishing sensitive information. Blaha also claims that his inclusion on the list is primarily due to his views and efforts to promote a peaceful resolution of the conflict. According to recent reports, Ľuboš Blaha has been assigned police protection.
