Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico had a telephone conversation with the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Monday. The main topic was the Slovak government’s critical attitude towards the direction of the European Union, which Fico plans to address to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in an open letter on Tuesday.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico spoke on the phone with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Monday. According to his own words, he told him that on Tuesday he will send an open letter to the President of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen, and will make it known to all prime ministers and heads of EU member states. According to Fico, world leaders do not take the EU completely seriously, which can be attributed to “meaningless climate goals and suicidal migration policy”. TASR was informed about this by the press and information department of the Slovak Government Office.
Fico suggested Merz visit Slovakia
“I proposed several solutions to the Federal Chancellor and I hope that he will visit Slovakia soon, as he promised. We have a lot to talk about,” said Fico. According to him, several hundred German companies operate in Slovakia, and the Slovak economy is particularly dependent on German economic development due to the huge concentration of car production.
Fico said Merzom discussed the current “serious international situation”. According to his own words, the interview with US President Donald Trump and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, which took place on Saturday at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, brought him closer.
Fico: World leaders do not take the European Union completely seriously
“The President of the USA clearly pursues the national interests of the USA. If the EU acted this way, we would be completely different than we are now,” says the Slovak Prime Minister. He noted that world leaders do not take the European Union completely seriously.
During the meeting in Florida, Fico and Trump touched on several topics, including the war in Ukraine, the European Union and mutual bilateral relations, the press and information department of the Government Office of the Slovak Republic informed after the meeting.
