EU-Mercosur trade deal could be 'fair,' Šefčovič promises in confirmation hearing
Grilled by MEPs on the trade deal with Latin American countries, Slovakia’s Commissioner-designate defended a deal that would satisfy opponents demanding insurances for farmers and transparency.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stunned NATO and EU allies after rejecting proposed sanctions on Russian energy, calling them “ideological” and harmful to Slovakia’s economy. At a press conference, Fico questioned why Slovakia should pay high gas prices due to the Ukraine conflict, citing a €16–20 billion contract with Gazprom lasting until 2034. He warned of potential lawsuits if the contract is broken and predicted that “we’ll all cooperate with Russia again.” His remarks underline a growing rift in Europe over energy strategy and long-term Russian ties.
