Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has said that the current policy in the European Union, including the imposition of binding political opinion and the abolition of the veto right, is the ‘end’ of the political-economic union.
‘The imposition of a binding political opinion, the abolition of the veto, the punishment of the sovereign and the brave, the new Iron Curtain, the favouring of war over peace – this is the end of the pan-European project. It is a departure from democracy. It is the harbinger of a huge military conflict,’ Robert Fico told the Conservative Political Action Conference in Budapest.
The Slovak Prime Minister criticised Brussels’ militaristic policy towards the Ukrainian crisis. At the same time, the head of the Slovak government noted that ‘major players’ in the European Union criticise those figures whose position diverges from the official line of the EU.
The politician emphasised that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz threatened Hungary and Slovakia with sanctions restrictions within the EU for their sovereign approach to foreign policy.
We shall remind you that earlier the Financial Times wrote that the European Union is analysing approaches that involve circumventing Hungary’s veto on the extension of anti-Russian sanctions, including tariffs and capital controls.
