Fico Never Lets You Down
----------------------------------
Twenty six out of 27 EU leaders, including Slovak prime minister Robert Fico, approved a joint statement on Europe’s rearmament and continued aid to Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion.
Despite flexing muscles at home for weeks ahead of the emergency summit, the pro-Putin Slovak PM did not vote against the summit conclusions, leaving only his equally confused friend, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, to play the role of the bad boy/useful idiot. Before leaving for Brussels, Fico, long blaming Ukraine for cutting off Russian gas transit through its territory, allegedly causing massive financial losses to Slovakia, told Slovak MPs on the parliamentary EU affairs committee that he would veto the conclusions unless they included guarantees for the resumption of Russian gas transit.

#Slovakia populist PM Robert #Fico repeated his country won't provide #Ukraine any military or financial support that would help it fight #Russia. Fico also demanded that an emergency EU summit in Brussels on Thurs agree to a call for an immediate ceasefire, "which is something that President #Zelenskyy & a majority of #EU member states refuse to do." Fico said his country also wants the summit to specifically request Ukraine to reopen the transit of Russian #gas to #Europe.

Mass protest gatherings have been taking place in more than 50 cities across Slovakia. The demonstrations are in response to the actions of Prime Minister Robert Fico’s government, which organisers claim is weakening Slovakia’s alliances within the EU and NATO.

Talking to Polish journalists, #Zelensky recalled his conversation with the Slovak prime minister #Fico during a meeting of European leaders.

"I told him: 'You were shot at. Why didn't you forgive? Why did you arrest this person who injured you?'" Zelensky said.

Slovak opposition puts forward a vote to remove the pro-Russian prime minister Fico from power, as even when given years to diversify the country’s energy supply, he refused and placed all their bets on Russia.

The country is now in deep trouble as gas transit through Ukraine has been finally halted.

The guy is a tool, installed by Russia, by #deepfake meddling in their elections 2023.

If #Slovakia is still a democracy, they should remove this fool.

According to the Prime Minister of the #Slovakia, Robert #Fico (Smer-SD), #China is rightly concerned about the uncontrolled escalation of tensions and the threat of a nuclear conflict in connection with the war in #Ukraine.

"We share the same opinion on the impossibility of an immediate end to hostilities as long as Ukraine continues to be militarily and financially supported by the West to continue the war." he said.

Správy RTVS · Čína sa oprávnene bojí hrozby jadrového konfliktu na Ukrajine, vyhlásil premiér R. FicoČína sa podľa predsedu vlády SR Roberta Fica (Smer-SD) v súvislosti s vojnou na Ukrajine oprávnene obáva hrozby jadrového konfliktu.

1/2 "Po tom, ako #Fico poslúžil Putinovi, sa predseda vlády odoberie na oficiálnu návštevu Číny, kam vezie niekoľko desiatok podnikateľov, ktorých mená nechcú prezradiť, a na cestu, program ktorej nechcú dopredu oznámiť."¹

Podotykam, ze Slovensko sa (nie za Fica) prihlasilo k tzv. "otvorenemu vladnutiu" a podpis stale plati.²

#Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert #Fico told Russian television on Wednesday he wanted to visit #Moscow for next year's World War Two anniversary and criticised the #EU's approach to the #Ukraine war, in remarks that stirred opposition ire at home.

In his interview with pro-#Kremlin TV commentator Olga #Skabeyeva, Fico said he would like to visit May 9 Victory Day celebrations next year and said Kyiv's plan for peace was no longer viable.

@randahl Robert #Fico, several times Slovakia's average, had to resign after the protests due to the revelation of links to the Italian mafia, and his party's preferences dropped considerably as a result. Three years later, thanks to conspiracies and a leaning towards the far right, he won the elections again, and is holding high percentages, even though a year after the elections he is totally subverting and indebting the country.

The pro-#Russia bloc at the heart of #Europe is forecast to grow in 2025.

#Kremlin-friendly Central European leaders such as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor #Orbán and his Slovak counterpart Robert #Fico are set to be joined next year by a familiar face: Former #Czech Prime Minister Andrej #Babiš, who is surging again in national polls.
