#FICE co-founder @TarnokB via @ForeignPolicy on the upcoming snap elections in #Slovakia, pro-Kremlin Robert #Fico's expected victory, his shift in foreign policy & the rise of #Russian_propaganda in Slovakia.🇸🇰🇺🇸

[Tárnok Balázs @TarnokB]

#Slovakia holds snap elections in September. Polls predict Robert #Fico is likely to win. Anti-Western sentiment is on the rise and Fico is determined to take advantage of it to adopt an openly pro-Kremlin foreign policy.🇸🇰

My analysis on @ForeignPolicy.

FICE co-founder @TarnokB on @Newsweek:

In its fight against Russian aggression, #Ukraine cannot win this war and lose its soul. Cracking down on the rights of #ethnic_minorities, many of whom have shed their blood for Ukraine, is no way to build a successful democratic nation.🇺🇦

🇺🇦 In its fight against Russian aggression, #Ukraine cannot win this war and lose its soul. Harassing its #ethnic_minority citizens, many of whom have shed their blood for Ukraine, is no way to build a successful democratic nation.

#Traditional_values and #religious_freedom are increasingly perceived as contradictory, but they do not have to be.

The US and European capitals needs to pay more attention to the situation of people displaced internally within #Ukraine and seek direct partnerships with local municipalities and #NGOs.

Harsh as it sounds, the E.U. is not a charity organization. Enlargement is essentially a businesslike decision, not a humanitarian or merit-based consideration.

66 years ago, at the height of the Cold War, a Central European nation shook the Soviet Union. The 1956 Hungarian Revolution became the symbol of hope in the face of the world’s deadliest ideology.

In #Ukraine, #churches have become civil society's #safety_net in addition to serving as houses of worship.

Partnership with local #Ukrainian #NGOs and #churches ensures the most efficient and speedy use of #foreign_aid.

#Ukraine has shown the world how to successfully fight against destructive propaganda and preserve its #national_identity through the use of social media.

#Russia’s invasion presents an opportunity for the United States to reduce its #economic_exposure to #China before it’s too late.

How could the #UN and inti law be effective with a #war_criminal on the Security Council armed with veto power on every resolution while probably committing genocide?

While WWII-era laws are still applied in #Slovakia to seize private property of individuals on ethnic basis, #US #State_Department remained silent about this in its annual #human_rights report.

The inside story of the #Budapest_Memorandum of 1994, when #Kyiv returned its nuclear weapons to #Russia in return for ‘assurances’ from Moscow and Washington.

#Slovakia is still applying World War II-era laws to confiscate private property of people with #German and #Hungarian ancestry, solely on #ethnic ethnic.
