Two years ago Čaputová was in Prague for the thirtieth anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, when she laid a wreath at Prague’s Národní třída. Čaputová then said the work that started in November 1989 has still not been completed, emphasizing the fragile nature of democracy. Earlier this year, she attended a ceremonial assembly in Brno where she criticized polarization of society and emphasized the role of constitutional courts as defenders of liberal democracy.
