Former Prime Minister and Member of Parliament for Smer Robert Fico told Czech politicians not to interfere in the affairs of Slovakia. He wrote this on Facebook in response to the statement of the Czech President Petr Pavl and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ján Lipavský, who said that they are concerned about the development in Slovakia and that it should be followed carefully.

Slovakia is facing early elections after the fall of the government in September, according to pre-election polls Fico’s party now has the best chance of victory.
“First it was President Pavel who expressed concern about developments in Slovakia… Foreign Minister Lipavský from the progressive Piráti party declared that my possible return to the position of Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic is something that must be watched very carefully,” wrote Fico. “I would like to ask all Czech politicians not to be talked into this dirty work and not to interfere in matters,” said the leader of the opposition.
Lipavský spoke about Fico’s possible return to the prime minister’s chair on Sunday in the Czech Television’s Otázky Václav Moravec program. He mentioned, for example, Fico’s views on the supply of military equipment to Ukraine, which the ex-prime minister wants to stop, or criticism of the EU. “I wish it was just pre-election rhetoric and that Fico would back down from some completely outrageous statements,” said Lipavský.
President Pavel mentioned his concern about the political situation in Slovakia in February during a debate organized by the representation of the European Commission in Slovakia.
In February, a few days after Pavle’s victory in the second round of the presidential election, Fico commented on the Czech president’s activities in an indiscriminate manner. According to Fico, he “showed very clearly who he is” in just two days. “He immediately knew who to call and immediately declared that Ukraine belongs to NATO,” Fico declared mockingly, Novinky.cz wrote.
“But we already know exactly, and he hasn’t even made a promise yet, what kind of foreign policy the Czech president will push. And, of course, the same is being pushed by our lady president,” continued Fico at the beginning of February.

In response to the meeting of the heads of state in Bratislava, Fico said that Pavel and Čaputová “are like through a copier”. “Mr. President, you go to Slovakia with a hat in your hand, not with a hat on your head. Slovakia is a sovereign independent country and does not need advice from other states,” he said.
