EU State’s PM Warns of New ‘Maidan’

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has accused the political opposition of preparing a ‘Maidan’ in the country, referring to the violent Western-backed coup in Kiev in 2014 that led to the overthrow of democratically-elected Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Hungarian Prime minister Viktor Orban in Bratislava on Tuesday, Fico based his accusations on a report prepared by the Slovak Information Service (SIS) intelligence agency.

“I cannot disclose the content of the report, but I can say in all seriousness that the opposition is preparing a ‘Maidan’. It is gearing up to thwart the government from exercising its powers and it will do this in cooperation with foreign actors,” he said.

Fico said his opponents have failed to notice that the “global state of affairs has changed significantly,” apparently referring to Donald Trump replacing Joe Biden as US president. – RT

Our Take: On Monday, during our Inauguration coverage, I mocked the press pool asking President Trump questions while he signed Executive Orders, dismissing them as mostly reductive and one-dimensional. Trump, himself, seemed bored with them.

We’ve been reporting on countries in Eastern Europe (such as Slovakia and Georgia) who have been passing “pro-Kremlin” legislation, which exposes foreign NGOs by forcing them to disclose their sources of funding. The Prime Ministers who have been passing this legislation soon find themselves on the receiving end of death threats and even acts of violence — as was the case with Slovakian PM Robert Fico, who was shot five-times in the chest but lived.

If given the chance, I would ask President Trump whether the allegations being asserted by these Eastern European leaders accusing these NGOs of trying to topple their governments, and being tied to the State Department, have any merit. If there is any truth to it, why are US tax dollars being used to topple European governments? (Rhetorical question, I know all about Operation Gladio.)

The only way to save Europe is to shut down these nefarious programs and neuter the intelligence operators allegedly working in those countries by taking away their own funding. Maybe they should start a GoFundMe?
