In the political discussion O 5 minut 12 in the public STVR, the vice-chairman of the NR SR and chairman of the SNS Andrej Danko met with the chairman of the parliamentary club in the NR SR and the chairman of the SaS party Branislav Gröhling. “Patriarchy or philanthropy, where are the boundaries of a political fight? The debt brake did not slow down the government, it continues to have the trust of the deputies. However, it faces a battle over the budget for the election year. How much will the pensions of the oldest be increased and the voting rules changed a year before the elections?” moderator Marek Gudiak named the main topics of the discussion.
The discussion started with a really hot topic. “Gentlemen, if you allow me, I will start with a quote from you, Mr. President (he turns to Andrej Danek, editor’s note). The number one candidate for the SNS is Robert Fico for the Constitutional Court. SNS will vote for him with their hands and feet. Mr. President, you said this four months ago. Does it still apply?” the moderator asked, pointing out that the prime minister ignored the constitutional law and the debt brake for more than half a year. In the end, the court decided to fulfill his duty.
Danko didn’t take napkins. “So I have other quotes and I said that he would be a good president and he certainly wouldn’t hang around for two weeks now on Turkey Hill and play soldier. In any case, Robert Fico spoke of this ambition at the time. I think it is no longer a topic, he does not show interest in a post on the Constitutional Court. At that time we would support him with our hands and feet because I think it would be a good continuity of his professional career“, he declared. “Peter Pellegrini has been playing soldier for two weeks. When he was young, he didn’t go to war.” he added.
You dug into President Petr Pellegrini, who on Thursday, June 18, the second phase of training of the National Defense Forces began at the Turkish Hill training area. According to his words, he thus continues his commitment to personally support the readiness of citizens to participate in strengthening Slovakia’s security and help in managing crisis situations.
Danko himself admits that he is not satisfied with the way the government works. “I must say that you can probably feel it from my statements. I am no longer the one who believes one hundred percent in the words of Robert Fico, because I have to say that after three years I expected a much more ambitious plan and pressure on those who ruled here in 2023. I expected a different system of functioning of the coalition,” he said honestly.
He also revealed plans for the future. “The SNS will also present its plan and vision for the reform of Slovakia. Because yes, I no longer believe in the power of Robert Fico as he had ten years ago and we want to be leaders in some topicsDanko continued.
According to his own words, Danko will not break the government, but he does not agree with some things. “I’m starting to feel uncomfortable in this government, because my enthusiasm for the fact that we could do more in three years is already fading,” he stated. In addition, according to him, Prime Minister Robert Fico does not know how to treat coalition partners and is liquidating them. “That’s how he liquidated Mečiar and Slota, that’s how he liquidated Bugár and Danko, and that’s how he liquidates Šutaj Eštok and Danko,” he stated.
