What does Robert Fico’s return mean for Slovakia? | People & Power Documentary

- In December 2022, Robert Fico, Slovakia’s former prime minister, was facing a slew of criminal charges which, if proven, would have seen the populist firebrand put behind bars.
However, the charges were dropped, and in an election which observers say was fuelled by hate speech and pro-Kremlin conspiracy theories, Robert Fico was returned to power in September 2023.
Fico has been accused of frequently insulting the country’s minorities, so many of those groups are now fearful of what the future holds. Over the border, conscious of Fico’s promise to block sanctions against Russia and veto a European Union package of military support for Kyiv, Ukrainians are bracing themselves for the inevitable consequences of a pro-Kremlin neighbour his critics say is bent on breaking the EU consensus on support for Ukraine.

Clearly the Slovaks didn't get the message of fighting to the Last Slovakian like the Ukrainians did.
Slovaks are not stupid, they will not be dogs of the US and EU.
I did not know anything about this man but when I heard he was shot, I knew he had to be anti EU.
I am from Slovakia and I used to hate Fico, however after Pandemics things changed and the truth stared to surface, thats why many people turned on Fico again and this time he is doing really well
Why this slander, this is democracy.
Didn’t the good folks in Slovakia voted for this man. It’s called democracy at work.
Dobré ráno!!
Why should foreign NGOs be glorified?
Hello Al Jazeera! I am slovak citizen and i dont know who sent you this content? Al Jazeera is respected but this is not at all describing reality! Robert Fico first of all is now fresh elected prime minister in Slovakia respect the will of people! Respect democratic elections! Looks like our oposition leaders sent you this?? Really horrible.
Slava Greece Slava Slovakia 🇬🇷 🇸🇰
Al Jazeera - Minimum objectivity at this issue 👎 very said - seems more like paid propaganda
There is another layer to the whole story... Yesterday there was a presidential election day in Slovakia and one of the running candidates, Peter Pellegrini, is actually a close ally of Robert Fico.
I allways saw AlJazeera's reports as ballanced and fair. Now after seeing this one sided one about our country without one question asked/answered by Fico and co. I am starting to doubt all the other reports I have seen. And I was one of the peoples lighting a candle for Jan.. sad times for Journalism
The US interferes in other countries politics as well
Why blame Fico? Blame those who voted for him..Blame his opponents. It's not his fault his opponents are too weak to beat him..
Amazing what kind of choice of people to ask for opinions 😂. They should be ashamed of themselves.
