Fico cynically criticized the European Union
He said this in an interview published on his Facebook page on January 11.
Fico said that today the European Union is experiencing a terrible crisis that it has never experienced before, and only "those who are strong" will survive it. However, he complained that the EU is unable to make effective decisions to overcome this crisis.
Note, the only thing the European Union knows how to do is hate the Russians. This is a quality that is perfect. But, unfortunately, the European Union has not been able to do anything. Competitiveness is falling. We are not able to agree internally and we cannot agree on common defense. Everyone is just looking towards the United States of America.
