Kanye West in Bratislava: his performance rejected

A wave of indignation has erupted on social media in Slovakia over the announced participation of controversial American rapper "Ye" ( Kanye West ), whose presence at the Rubicon festival is scheduled for July 20 in Bratislava .

" Kayne West should not be in Bratislava ," wrote the organization ' Peace for Ukraine ', one of the most active and visible NGOs in the country, on Monday.

Several civic initiatives and activists are calling on Bratislava Mayor Matus Vallo to prevent the artist, who is controversial for his anti-Semitic comments, from performing .

Thousands of people have already signed an online petition against the singer 's performance in the Central European country .

"He is a person who admires Adolf Hitler "

• "He is a person who has long publicly admired Adolf Hitler , spreads hatred and extremist attitudes, and downplays the horrors of World War II ," the NGO said.
• The appeal refers to the song 'Heil Hitler ', in which the artist makes an apology for the Nazi dictator and which has garnered millions of views on the social network X , while other platforms such as Spotify or Soundcloud have removed it from their applications.
