PS: Pellegrini, Rasi and Fico Didn't Present Plan to Lead Slovakia out of Crisis

Bratislava, 10 January (TASR) - Opposition Progressive Slovakia (PS) leader Michal Simecka expected the meeting of the three most senior constitutional officials to present a plan to take Slovaks out of the stagnation, as well as to outline how Slovakia intends to proceed in foreign affairs. However, according to Simecka, President Peter Pellegrini, House Chair Richard Rasi (Voice-SD) and Premier Robert Fico (Smer-SD) showed that they are "only concerned about themselves" and not about how to lead Slovakia out of the crisis. "These three gentlemen no longer have the ambition or the ability to offer anything to Slovakia. Neither in economics nor in foreign policy. Today, they, and especially Robert Fico, showed that they are only interested in power itself, in maintaining it, in healing their own traumas, in taking revenge. The government is interested in some deals, but it is no longer interested in how to get Slovakia out of this crisis. And that is exactly what has happened. In my opinion, this is the best proof that our country needs change," Simecka told a press conference on Saturday. Leader of the opposition 'For the People' party Veronika Remisova believes that the actions of the three highest constitutional officials are leading to the legal and political destabilisation of Slovakia. "The president has failed to distance himself from Robert Fico's harmful foreign policy and has fully embraced the political and legal destabilisation of the state," she said in a statement, claiming that the three most senior constitutional officials are unable to offer Slovakia a positive vision. Following their joint luncheon at Bratislava Castle on Saturday, Pellegrini, Rasi and Fico declared agreement on fundamental issues concerning Slovakia's interests at home and around the world. am
