Former presenter, confectioner and pension operator Adriana Kneissl (48) has been living alongside her husband Christian in Austria since 2021. But she has always said that she would like to return to Slovakia once, but now it looks like she’s no longer the same. As she said in an interview for, She was already thinking about an Austrian citizenship request.
Deputy Chairman of the National Council of the Slovak Republic for Smer-SD Tibor Gašpar outraged almost the whole of Slovakia on January 17, when he commented on the STVR’s proposal of the opposition SaS to anchor the membership of the Slovak Republic to the EU and NATO. He reminded that The Slovak Republic entered both communities on the basis of a referendum and the same rule should also be followed by a possible performance, which he described as an extreme solution.
Adriana Kneissl was supposed to indicate in response to his words that When this happens, she wants to be an Austrian citizen. “I never want to be different from Slovak citizen and Slovak, hey? I’m a Slovak heart. It always pulls me home everything. But I live in the European Union and I know what benefits it brings me. I do not look at this now, from the point of view, as everyone claims that the European Union limits us, takes us a lot of money, tells us what to do and I do not feel free here“She named the reasons that interfere with some people.
But she sees it differently. “But I cannot imagine more freedom as the one I have now, that I just need an ID card that is valid everywhere, hey, we are talking about the European Union. I can travel where I want. I can work in any country of the European Union, I can freely, young people, be aware of this call and be on data in the European Union because they are uniform. Maybe they are petty for someone, and what is it? But this is a thing that affects me, this freedom, “she explained.
He also talks about other benefits. “The fact that those politicians are dealing there, that we now or get some Eurofunds on it and on it, but Take how much it has been built thanks to those Eurofunds, it really shouldn’t be forgotten. The fact that we contribute to the European Union, but will be, but we cannot complete one highway. Who would build all those sewers, and the roads new and the bypasses near Bratislava? That’s all from the European Union. So yes. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages, of course“You said into the government.
“But for me, the greatest image of freedom is the opportunity to move freely, travel and be free. When we give up this freedom by rising from the European Union, we will remain a small isolated Slovakia. What will we be free in? I therefore said that if this happens, I do not want to lose freedom and I will apply for Austrian citizenship to continue to travel freely“Adriana admitted.
“But also in the sense that I can go to Slovakia and Slovakia at any time. Because when Slovakia closes, what do you know if it will be forbidden to travel to the bad, spoiled European Union in two years? That there will be no visa again, as it used to be, and all sorts of clauses? Maybe I’m painting the hell on the wall, but why should I give up something that allows me to freedom. It is such a very delicate topic, but I do not want to lose my freedom we have gained very easily and probably that’s why we do not appreciate it“was her important message to the conclusion.
