Slovakia will take unspecified precautionary measures in opposition to Ukraine-style political unrest that’s supposedly being fomented, with a bunch of overseas coup “consultants” having been found within the nation, PM Robert Fico has claimed.
Fico made the remarks in Bratislava on Tuesday throughout a joint press convention with Hungarian Prime minister Viktor Orban, citing a confidential report compiled by the Slovak Info Service (SIS) intelligence company.
“There’s a group of consultants on the territory of the Slovak Republic that had actively operated in Georgia and in the course of the Maidan in Ukraine,” Fico stated, referring to the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev that toppled Ukraine’s democratically-elected president Viktor Yanukovich.
It was not instantly clear, with regard to Georgia, whether or not the PM was referring to the newest pro-Western protest that unfolded within the nation late final 12 months within the wake of a contested common election or to some earlier political turmoil, for example the so-called 2003 Rose Revolution.
The group of overseas operatives is being “strictly monitored,” Fico revealed, pledging to deal with the difficulty with Slovakia’s Safety Council on Thursday and to take unspecified but important precautionary measures.
The PM accused the nation’s opposition and “overseas actors” behind it of in search of to overthrow the federal government. He didn’t identify explicitly any overseas powers allegedly concerned within the affair.
“I can’t disclose the content material of the report, however I can say in all seriousness that the opposition is getting ready a ‘Maidan.’ It’s gearing as much as thwart the federal government from exercising its powers and it’ll do that in cooperation with overseas actors,” he advised the press convention.

Nevertheless, the PM stated the doc could possibly be solely mentioned behind closed doorways resulting from its delicate nature. In protest, the opposition known as off the no-confidence movement, promising to launch one other one shortly.
The opposition has dismissed the report as a compilation of “conspiracy theories,” with MPs claiming there was nothing really confidential about it because it contained solely data “anybody can discover on Google.”
A lawmaker with the Christian Democratic Motion (KDH) Frantisek Miklosko claimed the entire affair was a preparation for a false-flag incident hatched by the federal government itself.
“It might not be tough for somebody to stage a provocation at an in any other case peaceable demonstration, offering an excuse to assert they’re defending the state… whereas starting to detain people primarily based on some checklist,” the MP reasoned.
