A Slovak court has acquitted seven defendants in a case involving the construction and unveiling of a controversial memorial in Dunajská Streda. The case centered on the Monument of Solidarity, a stylized tower structure with a flagpole that was erected in a public space in the southern Slovak town on November 12, 2020. Dunajská Streda is located in an ethnically mixed region with a significant Hungarian minority, and the monument's construction had sparked public debate about its symbolism and the circumstances surrounding its installation.
