A Gorilla Protest on Clyde Road [Organised by Slovakian Nationals Living in Ireland]
The Gorilla protests were a series of demonstrations in Slovakia that began in 2012 and continued into 2015. They were sparked by the "Gorilla file," a leaked document that exposed alleged corruption involving politicians and business figures. The protests aimed to express widespread discontent with the government's handling of the financial crisis and its impact on ordinary citizens.
On 3rd March 2012, a good-humoured protest was organised by Slovakian nationals outside their embassy on Clyde Road in Dublin. The purpose of the rally was to show solidarity with the protests back home and to protest against corruption in Slovakian politics.
Initially, the organisers were disappointed by the low turnout, but many people eventually arrived. Clyde Road is not the easiest to find for those unfamiliar with Ballsbridge, so it's possible some had difficulty locating the embassy.
Clyde Road, named after Colin Campbell, 1st Baron Clyde (1792-1863), a Scottish soldier known for his role in suppressing the Indian Rebellion of 1857, runs from Wellington Place to a junction with Pembroke Road and Herbert Park. It intersects Raglan Road, Elgin Road, and Wellington Road.
This event presented a good opportunity to test out my new Sony NEX-7 camera. It allowed me to capture high-quality video and still photographs. However, in video mode, the camera surprisingly overheated after about two minutes, an issue I hadn't experienced with the NEX-5.
