Fico Condemns Romanian, Georgian Elections, Cites Soros-Linked NGOs

Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico has issued a scathing critique of recent election results in both Romania and Georgia, describing the outcomes as "unacceptable." In a short video statement, Fico highlighted instances where winning candidates were deemed illegitimate, and criticized attacks on ruling governments and parties following their electoral victories. He also voiced concerns about the substantial influence of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly those linked to George Soros, on Slovakian political processes and media. "We are making a huge mistake by not addressing the issue of politically-motivated NGOs, especially those linked to Soros," Fico stated. His comments have sparked debate about the role of NGOs in shaping political narratives and the integrity of electoral processes in the region. The situation underscores the complex interplay between political power, media influence, and the activities of NGOs in Central Europe.
