Anti-globalist Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, is unapologetic after receiving criticism from the EU institution, with the same old cheering by the USAID-media.
Watch how Reuters approaches it:
“Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated on Friday his nation needed to develop relations with Russia, and he derided these in the European Union who he stated created obstacles to his attendance at World Battle Two commemorations in Moscow.”
‘He stated’? Fico traveled to Moscow regardless of the Baltic States’ ban on his airplane – Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania all denied authorization for Fico’s airplane to cross their airspace to reach in Russia.
In keeping with radar knowledge printed on-line, the Slovak authorities’s special-purpose airplane went to Russia taking a protracted detour through Hungary and Romania, over the Black Sea, Georgia, after which through Dagestan to the Russian Federation.
That’s what we will name ‘obstacles’.
Reuters reported:
“Fico broke ranks with the EU by visiting Moscow late final 12 months, greater than two years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
He met with Russian President Vladimir Putin within the Kremlin late on Friday night following the Purple Sq. parade marking the eightieth anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany.
[…] ‘As a head of presidency, I need to guarantee you that it’s in my curiosity to have pragmatic relations with the Russian Federation’, Russian information businesses quoted Fico as telling Putin.”
Fico reaffirmed that he opposed the creation of any new ‘iron curtain’ in Europe, and pledged to do all the things in order that East and West ‘can shake arms throughout a curtain’.
“‘Allow us to think about as a infantile joke all of the technical issues we confronted, created by our European Union colleagues’.
Putin stated Russia appreciated Fico’s resolution to attend regardless of the ‘logistical obstacles that have been created. However you’re nonetheless right here’.”
High EU diplomat Kaja Kallas was apparently livid over Fico’s presence within the Victory Day Parade. She stated he ought to have been in Ukraine as we speak quite than Moscow. ‘You might be on the fallacious facet of historical past’, she stated.
Poland’s PM Donald Tusk additionally tried to disgrace the Slovak PM for ‘daring’ to have fun defeat of Nazism in Moscow: ‘A DISGRACE. Nothing extra must be added right here’ he said.
However Fico isn’t a person to be cowered by phrases. He was shot 5 instances by a deranged liberal activist, so ‘dangerous phrases’ gained’t do the trick.

Expensive Kaja, as soon as once more I’ve taken observe of your statements directed at me in reference to as we speak’s go to to Moscow and the introduced assembly not solely with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. You declare that I’m supposedly not on the best facet of historical past, or make different equally profound geopolitical remarks.
First, I’m in Moscow to pay tribute to greater than 60,000 troopers of the Purple Military who died whereas liberating Slovakia. I don’t see what these courageous people must do with the present worldwide state of affairs.
Second, as a high-ranking official of the European Fee, you’ve got completely no authority to criticize the sovereign Prime Minister of a sovereign nation who approaches all European issues constructively.
Third, I disagree with the coverage of a brand new Iron Curtain, which you’re engaged on so intensively.
Fourth, I ask you: how can diplomacy and overseas coverage be carried out if politicians usually are not supposed to fulfill and have interaction in regular dialogue on points the place they maintain differing views?
Respectfully, Robert Fico”
