its not only becouse anti war rethoric … slovakia is conservative country and Korcok was suported mainly by liberals(and he personaly have liberal wiews) … and he was involved in every government in last 15 years maybe more(even in ficos) … anothere thing is he changed rethoric after first round of elections where he denied nationalists and after first round he accepted those votes no matter what ..then his acceptance of serbia bombing … and his advisitors fully superted nato intervention in ukraine … it would be good to say slovakia did give ukraine whole air defence and airforce before ficos government so slovakia literaly have nothing after horible covid management and green push slovakia economics ended in huge debth so money or military help to ukraine is unreal at first … at second slovakia continue to suport ukraine with anti mine devices and non lethal suport thats the truth … it is good to say that slovakia politihics is more complicated then just fico bad and opozition good .. durning covid government(korcok was minister in that time) did try to put opozition to jail and didnot find any evidences durning 3 years and with boosted powers becouse of covid … after liberal push in west… slovakia chose conservative government witch is completly democratic choice …and worst of this is that mainstream in slovakia is doing porpaganda work for opozition … for example nobody on west know that opozition changed law only to be able to put prosecutor to office(special prosecutor) becouse he killed man … slovakia media are loosing wiewers every day and alternative is groving only becouse how unprofesional they are … slovakia have a large problem with polithical nongovernmental organizations witch recently ficos government stoped finance (a lot of money was flowing to them) and there is new law draft comparable to usa or israel where this organizations need to show full financial flow … this is main reason informations from slovakia are so uneven and mainly against fico government … open sociaty foundation is one of them … this extreme liberalizm need to stop it is destroying west and our future only to improve furute of few

We can see now in the world that politics are now mixed
And feels like this
Do you want to put in your A-hole a cucumber… Or a cactus
In Czechia (here) there are many people that feel like many people are just populist or worse. Slovakia had a long term problem with policits and year after year it was corruption or populist. Poland… IDK it was bad… And Hungry, that is really bad… Corruption after corruption, after corruption.
Kinda feels like Putin is behind this… And because he has his head (crazy mind) I think he would give this people a really big money so state would turn to prorussion… (My therory)
@peterboyd7149
April 10, 2024 at 7:39 am
I have to wonder do Slovakians or Hungarians think Putin will stop if he takes Ukraine. Or are they hoping they will be treated better when Russia invades. Maybe look at what Putin does to opposition in Russia. Putin would love a buffer zone of states that will do as they're told like in the Warsaw pact days. Best of luck Slovakia and Hungary.
@thevoid5503

Slovakia and Hungary should, frankly, be removed from NATO and the EU. Period.
@pozut
April 10, 2024 at 7:39 am
The biggest problem of the elections was the misinformation going around. Anyone who want to support Ukraine is called pro-war even thought they too want peace, just on ukraine terms. The biggest call from Pelegrini's side was "Korčok will send our boys to war" even though slovak president doesn't have that power! Yet a lot of slovak's don't research the facts and just take it as the truth.
Also. Whoever did the graphs. The first round graph shows Pelegrini winning the first round. I know you mentioned it in the video but it was graphically the wrong way around.

She legit said: "Now Slovakia's democracy as at risk as they do NOT want to support the Ukraine and the western powers"….. Interesting that's the same shit they said about Serbia & Hungary, and the claiming they are pro Russian….. lel the brainwashery in this video…. I can't, I really can't believe that the people are THAT stupid, and that they can't see through this.

The Slovak history during WW2 and the cooperation with Nazi Germany (Tiso) may give us an indikation of, what sort of nation Slovakia is!

oh my god, the commentary section here is full of frustrated slovakians, what a "surprise".. what else did I expect from dissapointed Korcok´s electors? They do the same here in Slovakia, always spite on their own country everywhere they go, and here is the result! But dont forget that majority of population voted Pelegrini for some reason, and do you think that older people are all stupid??? Or that only young generation can thnik? Don´t be silly, the majority of slovakians already dont care what rest of europe think about us, that´s enough, and the more and more silly videos like this, the less and less majority of population care. Most of you have never been in slovakia anyway, so come here, travel and listen ordinary people, not only frustrated comentators on social media or stupid videos far from reality… that´s absolutely unbelievably tragicomical, how one nation can result, when they dare to vote differently from expectations of agressive ultra – liberals from EU! Sick!
@wlados22
April 10, 2024 at 7:39 am
NO FIKO but FICO – FITSO. Another thing is we dont want war – because neocon globalchik want endless continues conflict. HE IS NOT PRORUSSIAN – you are lying, dont have any evidence of FACTS. HOAXERS)
