The Slovak nationality of the Czech presidential candidate Andrej Babis was pointed out as a negative feature before the second round of the elections. A billboard put up in Prague links Babis with the last Czechoslovak communist president Gustav Husak, who was also of Slovak nationality. "NO more Czech-Slovaks!" proclaims the billboard, reaching across two floors of a building in Prague's Újezd street. The nationality-framed campaign against Babis, which comes from the association dekomunizace.cz, is based on xenophobia and creates strong feelings against Slovaks in general, also remarks the Slovak documentary filmmaker Zuzana Piussi.
