Robert Fico Is Selling Off – Chinese and UAE Investment in Slovakia

Robert Fico and Peter Pellegrini’s overtures with foreign companies benefit no one but themselves.

This opinion piece was originally published in Slovak by SME by Samuel Marec, a prominent Slovak blogger and political commentator. He is the author of ‘Ako sa zbaviť zúfalstva zo Slovenska a poraziť Roberta Fica’ (How to Rid Slovakia of Despair and Defeat Robert Fico).

The piece quickly gained traction and inspired a number of responses, including one from the prime minister himself.

Facebook recently reminded me that eight years ago I posted a volcanic question: ‘Do you think Bratislava’s railway station or the motorway to Košice will be finished first?’
