Newly-Elected Slovakian PM Robert Fico Already at War With the Media, Threatens to Restrict Access to Major Outlets
In the days we are living, it isn’t enough for a leader to be leftist to be awarded fair treatment by the media.
You have to be from the ‘globalist-liberal left’ – or else you’re painted as bad as conservatives are depicted.
Take the case of Slovakian leftwing populist Robert Fico. The new Prime Minister had barely been in office for a few weeks and he already has a very bad news cycle going against him.
Slovakian journalists and international watchdogs have now ‘expressed alarm’ after Fico described leading media outlets as ‘hostile’ and threatened to restrict their access.
Fico returned to power as Slovakia’s leader in October, in a coalition government led by his populist Smer party.
