While you are the Prime Minister Robert Fico In Moscow he shook hands with world -class autocrats and dictators, peace association Ukraine organized in Bratislava The Assembly, which represented a symbolic dot behind one of the largest waves of civic engagement in the modern history of Slovakia.

The meeting of these two events revealed different faces of a divided society and showed that a significant part of Slovakia did not want the kidnapping of the country to Moscow.

At the same time, Fico’s journey to Putin was a confirmation that even tens of thousands of people in the streets of Slovak cities are not a reason for the current Prime Minister to correct his derailed foreign policy. In other words, we have checked that Robert Fico cannot have a dialogue or negotiate, it can only be politically defeated.

Thus, civil engagement in favor of our anchoring in Europe is inevitably becoming a political act. The effort to separate civil protests from opposition political activities therefore appears to be meaningless. The reason for this separation was probably an effort to avoid the confusion of local political life.

Watching Slovak politics brings a number of micro -and who does not and who not with whom. Fico in Moscow reminded us that in addition to these transient stories, there are also essential events that write history and form the form of the state.
