  • Polls in the central European country tip former prime minister Robert Fico to come in first - he says he'll stop sending arms and ammunition to Ukraine. And his critics have slammed him as 'pro-Russian'.
    People have been casting their ballots following an election campaign that's resulted in a neck-and-neck race between a former leftist prime minister and pro-Western liberals. Both sides have about 20 percent support, and would require coalition partners to form a government.
    Former prime minister Robert Fico has campaigned on a populist platform, calling for an end to Slovakia's robust military support for Ukraine... and for closer ties to Moscow.

      Fico is not anti EU. He was the one who brought us in to the EU. He clearly said that slovakias foreign policy will not change. The only reason he is labeled as pro-putin is that he has a different view on the whole thing. Isn't that what democracy is? To be allowed to have a different view? To be a sovereign nation with sovereign views? This is why he won the elections. He is not serving anyone. Only doing what is right for his nation

      I agree... maybe people were too optimistic expecting that EU is actually working for more equality among member countries. This is not true. EU is driven by capitalism, so the division will always be there - Slovakia is the second largest car manufacturer in Europe and yet the wages are well below those in other countries, how is that still possible 30 years after the system has been open to free market economy? Well, without a REAL effort on behalf of the governments of the wealthier EU countries like Germany and France those poorer members will eventually grow in more discontent. I believe that is how Brexit happened - people in the UK believed that they can stay above the level of "average EU" prosperity. Well, they learned that they do not have such well established protectionist barriers as Switzerland :-)
