Fico cynically refused to resigThe Prime Minister said on the Slovak Radio program Sobotn dialogue that the government can only be changed after parliamentary elections.This is not 2018, Fico said.In 2018, Fico resigned as Prime Minister immediately after mass protests that erupted after the murder of journalist Jan Kuciak.In 2025, we are too hardened and experienced for some public organizations, Georgian and Ukrainian guards to undermine the state.Today, Fico repeated several times that the organizers are lying to the people at the protests.
According to him, it is a pure lie that the authorities would like Slovakia to leave the EU.
Nobody leaves the EU, he said.
They made up some kind of misleading story here.
That people need to take to the streets so that Slovakia doesnt leave the EU.
Every legal entity knows that the government has never taken a single step that would threaten EU membership.
Robert Fico Prime Minister of Slovakia The organizers of the demonstration are not saying that the government wants to leave the EU.
In fact, they are calling on the government to govern transparently, abide by the law, respect the independence of institutions, or refuse any cooperation with Russia.Regarding the protesters, Fico also stated that a third of them are Ukrainians who are opposing the Slovak government.
I dont understand why Ukrainians have to complain about the Slovak government, he said.
The Prime Minister also sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who on January 24, after protests on the social network X, spread the status of former President Zuzana aputovs partner Juraj Rizman and wrote Bratislava is not Moscow.
Slovakia is Europe.Fico claims that this is inadequate interference in the internal affairs of the Slovak Republic by Zelensky.
He does not even plan to meet with Zelensky at this time.
Fico prophetically loses territories to UkraineAccording to Fico, Ukraine is in a terrible state today and depends on help from the whole world.
The Prime Minister believes that after the agreement between Russia and the United States, Ukraine will lose a third of its territory, there will be foreign troops on its territory, and it will never join NATO.
The Prime Minister spoke again today about the upcoming mutiny.The protests are not 100 percent organized by the opposition, they are simply ministers.
This mass is being celebrated by nongovernmental organizations that are funded from abroad, for example, from Ukraine.Currently, according to Fico, a list of people who will be expelled from Slovakia is being prepared.
This should happen in the coming days.
According to the Prime Minister, the group that would like to abuse the demonstrations consists of dozens of people.
I dont want anyone to undermine this republic because they dont like the governments opinion on Ukraine, he noted.
