Who is Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico?
By Ellie Doughty
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico won his country’s elections in September 2023 on a platform of pro-Russian, anti-Western sentiment.
It was his fourth term as prime minister leading the Smer party – which means “Direction”.
The controversial leader, whose policies have been met with nationwide protests, is a supporter of Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin.
In January 2024, he said the only way to end the war in Ukraine was if Zelensky’s courageous forces ceded some of their land to the Russian invaders.
He also opposed Ukraine’s membership of NATO and said the nation is “not an independent, sovereign country.”
Fico said at the time: “What do they expect, for the Russians to leave Crimea, Donbass and Luhansk? That’s not realistic.”
Before taking power in December, he promised to stop sending weapons to Ukraine.
He also assured voters that he would block any attempt by Kiev to join NATO and would oppose sanctions against Russia.
In a shocking statement, Fico said that Ukraine’s membership of the European military alliance would be “a basis for World War III, nothing more.”
Disgustingly, Fico claimed that Ukraine – which has been fighting Russia’s illegal invasion for more than two years – is “one of the most corrupt nations in the world”.
In stark contrast to the war-torn experiences of countless Ukrainians, Fico once stated, “there is no war in Kiev,” describing life in the capital as “absolutely normal.”
He also promised to take a strict stance against migration and NGOs and campaigned against the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.
Notorious for his tirades against journalists, Fico has already dubbed a major television network, two national newspapers and an online media outlet as his “enemies”.
