Protest Gorila 10.2.2012 - "Gorilla" Protest Rally against Political Corruption In Slovakia

I had some difficulty finding out what was behind this poster as most of the information that I could find was not in English I did find some information on Facebook and tried to obtain a translation but as you can see Google translate did not work well in this instance:

"Friends, what is not you one of us is going home the moment? Come and express their views and solidarity and support for the protesters home in Slovakia .... On Friday, expecting you at the beginning of O `Connell street at the statue O` Connelly Banana wear, but the thermos with hot tea :) will meet in Slovakia have biting cold, but people still go out to the streets, so let us do we!"

So here is a link that may make more sense providing that you do not use Google Translate:

Slovak politicians head into March elections embroiled in a massive corruption probe prompted by the publication of an alleged intelligence file code-named 'Gorilla'. It suggests that members of leading political parties colluded with financiers in privatisation and public procurement projects.
Dozens of bananas were thrown in front of the Presidential Palace on January 27 in Bratislava, as participants of a protest march expressed their dissatisfaction with the current political situation in the country.
