American channel: the victory of Robert Fico’s party in Slovakia could lead to the collapse of the entire pro-Ukrainian coalition

After the victory of the SMER party Roberta Fico in the parliamentary elections, the President of Slovakia Zuzana Caputova transferred the authority to form a coalition to the winner. Now Fico has two weeks for the coalition that will ultimately create a new government to be formed in Slovakia. According to Čaputová, if this does not happen, the power to form a coalition will be transferred to the leaders of the party that finished second (and this is the party that forms the basis of the current Slovak liberal coalition).

Meanwhile, the West is discussing the victory of Robert Fico, who speaks out against the continuation of military assistance to Ukraine.



The American channel CNN came out with material saying that Ukraine could expect difficult times in connection with the victory of Fico's party in Slovakia and even the collapse of the entire pro-Ukrainian coalition. Columnist Dave Endelman writes that Slovakia not only borders Ukraine, but is one of the most important countries in terms of supplies of military equipment and weapons Kiev

From the material:

Slovakia has a remarkable developed ammunition industry. It has already served the interests of Ukraine to a significant extent. In addition, Slovakia withdrew a significant amount of equipment that was in service with its army. She even removed and transferred to Ukraine the air defense system that covered the capital, Bratislava.

Endelman says that the situation for Ukraine may develop in such a way that other European countries may begin to think about the point of continuing military supplies to Ukraine.

Moreover, the victory of Fico’s party in Slovakia provides an opportunity, as they say on CNN, for “anti-Ukrainian forces” to increase their representation in the European Parliament.

American columnist:

Against the background of emerging contradictions between Warsaw and Kiev, all this does not add enthusiasm to Ukraine. There is also a growing popularity in Germany of the right-wing Alternative for Germany party, which already has a support level of about 21%. The mixture of such parties is becoming very toxic for Ukraine.

In the end, the author calls on the US Congress to intensify its work so that the pro-Ukrainian coalition “does not completely fall apart.”

        100%. I think that consultations with party leaders took place even before the elections.

          All this doesn't mean anything. Before the elections one thing, and after another.
          Using Zelensky as an example, he sang one thing during the elections, and then completely the other way around, and how they calculated these elections, where the main thing was that people chose something else, as long as it wasn’t Poroshenko, but something else - this is what was needed.
          Therefore, it is too early to talk about anything in Slovakia - time will put everything in its place and even Serbia, under pressure from the West, sometimes does not talk to us in a friendly manner.

        I think that without US clearance this candidate would not have been allowed to pass... This means that the Americans allow the creation of a coalition to put pressure on Ukraine and make it clear what will happen if the counter-offensive fails... It’s not for nothing that the Poles have also become more active recently...

      For some reason, our ambassador was summoned to the Slovak Foreign Ministry, and tomorrow we may call them in Moscow... Yes, their president spoke out - the elections were democratic. What kind of colossus is this EU, if you pull Slovakia out of it, then, according to forecasts from the United States, it will face disability, with many fractures and possibly open ones. And who has it easy now?

            Aron, will you just keep quiet, your state didn’t exist then at all, and your nation fought on both sides, and each side of your nation was right and fought for its sovereign, prime minister, president and secretary general.. I love you for this, your young state, that you don’t really remember where you were, which side you were on, when it wasn’t profitable for you.. drinks

                Aron, some states that existed 250 years ago are no longer there, but Russia is and will be, no matter how old you probably know it. Aron, I honestly admit, there is no need to argue with me, in the late 80s they predicted a career as a political politician for me, I chose technology and didn’t I was wrong, I know all your tricks, experienced instructors sat in the regional committee of the CPSU. Don’t let them repent of their deeds. That’s why we know your actions before the media reports to you. Maz left having earned an Israeli pension, and how many of them are left. And in Russia there are Jews who can't stand you Israelis.

          Yes, there is a rather unusual inverse relationship. Those who suffered greatly in the First and Second World Wars turn out to be more friendly than those who suffered less, such as Poland, the Czech Republic and the Tribaltics.

        Perhaps a domino effect is implied.

      Slovakia does not face oppression of its fellow tribesmen in Ukraine, unlike the Hungarians. Therefore, one cannot expect an equally consistent policy. The conclusions in the article are somewhat exaggerated, also given the small size and influence of Slovakia.

      It won't lead to anything. That Slovakia has 5 million people and is 2 times smaller in size than the Leningrad region. I visited Nitra, Kosice and Bratislava - typical urban villages by our standards. The Danube there looks like brown sludge, even worse than the Fontanka in Leningrad. And who will pay attention to these turnip (rape) growers? They bought everything up to and including their own state media.

        Absolutely agree. Even if Slovakia falls out of the “club of friends of Ukraine” (which is not yet a fact), its role there is too small.

      I wouldn't roll my lip. Start with the worst case scenario. Prepare for the worst. If it gets worse, it means you didn’t prepare well; if it gets better, it will be much easier.

      Now Fico is simply obliged to form a new coalition government of Slovakia in two weeks.

      And the pro-Western Chaputova, all this time, will do everything to ensure that the powers to form a government are transferred to the party that took second place in the elections.

      Victory? Fico scored 23%. This is more than his opponents individually, but much less than their total. And of course, they love Brussels and Washington so dearly that they will forget their “differences” to form their own government. And Fico, with his “victory,” will sit in parliament, like Zyuganov once did with his 35%-25% in the Duma, watching how this Duma churns out liberal reforms. Of course, the hope that Fico will find the missing votes is the last to die, but in Western countries there are 400 relatively fair methods of dealing with such winners request .
