Prime Minister Robert Fico, following a previous dispute with the European Parliament in Strasbourg, is expanding the European agenda to include Slovakia's presidency of the Visegrád Group and domestic support for industry. Slovakia took over the V4 presidency on Wednesday for a one-year term, and according to new information, Fico wants to avoid controversial topics. irozhlas.cz ↗
The dispute with the European Parliament concerned resolutions adopted in Strasbourg, which Fico called unfair. During talks with European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, he spoke of a policy of double standards. At the same time, he refuses to have Slovakia participate in the planned war loan for Ukraine, and ahead of the July NATO summit in Ankara he wants to convene a meeting of the country's top constitutional officials. ta3.com ↗
A new Eurobarometer survey for the European Parliament showed that EU citizens want, above all, an improvement in their countries' economies. At the same time, a majority of Slovaks view EU membership as beneficial, with eight in ten people rating it this way. These findings come at a time when the government has signed contracts with the companies Slovalco, Hydro Aluminium and Slovalco Invest. Aluminum production is set to return to Slovakia, with the furnaces due to be switched on in two months, although the return on the state aid remains questionable. hnonline.sk ↗
At the European level, investigations related to EU funds involving the former Identity and Democracy faction in the European Parliament are also continuing. The near-term developments will be shaped mainly by Slovakia's stance at the NATO summit, its leadership of the V4, and the domestic economic decisions of Fico's government. teraz.sk ↗
