Another NATO Country Rejects the West’s Pervert Oligarchs, Elects Antiwar Conservatives

Slovakia’s populist former prime minister, Robert Fico, who campaigned on a pledge to end military aid to Ukraine, has said his position “has not changed” after his party’s clear election win made him favorite to lead the country for a fourth time. . .

The 59-year-old, whose pro-Moscow stance has sparked fears Slovakia will join Hungary and its authoritarian leader Viktor Orbán in challenging the EU’s consensus on support for Kyiv, added: “People in Slovakia have bigger problems than Ukraine.”

Fico has leaned close to Orbán, who congratulated him on his victory on Sunday. “Guess who’s back!” the Hungarian prime minister said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Always good to work together with a patriot. Looking forward to it.”

Fico said his party was “not changing [its view] that we are prepared to help Ukraine in a humanitarian way . . . we are prepared to help with the reconstruction of the state. But you know our opinion on arming Ukraine” . . .

Radoslav Štefančík, an analyst from the University of Economics in Bratislava, said: “It can’t be ruled out that Fico will be looking for a [European] partner who uses similar rhetoric – and that partner will be Viktor Orbán.” (Read more from “Another NATO Country Rejects the West’s Pervert Oligarchs, Elects Antiwar Conservatives” HERE)
