Simon Omanik accused the president of an undeserved election victory. According to him, Pellegrini manipulated the topic of the war in Ukraine, which was unleashed by Russia, and turned voters against his opponent, declaring that if he won, he would send them to fight in Ukraine.
“I don’t think it’s right to shake hands with such a person or talk to him, because I don’t agree with him and consider him a fraud and a liar,” the young man said in an interview with the Slovak publication. Dennis N.
Earlier, the President of Slovakia refused to travel to Kyiv due to the cessation of Russian gas transit through Ukraine: “If I have to go there just to take a picture, and they tell me not a drop of oil and gas will come in. Slovakia, then I don’t care.” I have to go there.
Pellegrini is considered a pro-Russian politician and an ally of Prime Minister Robert Fico. He won the Slovak presidential election in 2024.
We remind you that Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico continues to attack Ukraine for stopping Russian gas shipments to Europe. Fico has already threatened to cut off aid to Kyiv and called Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, and now he suddenly wants to meet with him.
