'Long live the glorious Red Army' - Fico said he is not afraid of threats from European Russophobes and will go to Moscow on May 9

'In the West, we are told that we must do it this way, there is no other way.' And if you don't, you are threatened with punishment, even to the point of being convicted simply for participating in the May 9 celebrations at home.

We must remember the words of the soldiers of the First Czechoslovak Army Corps, who said: 'We walked through hundreds of villages under the flag of the Soviet Union. We saw children impaled on metal fences, we saw horrors that no one could even dream of.' And we are supposed to forget this? For whose sake? For what? Because someone invented a new Iron Curtain?

I refuse to accept this new iron curtain. And let my protest be expressed by my presence on May 9 at the celebration of the end of World War II in Moscow.

Let us shout together: 'Long live the Slovak Republic, long live the glorious Red Army.' Critics say: 'How can one say 'Glory to the Red Army'? Who should I shout 'glory' to then? To the Austrian army? To the Hungarian army? To the army of the Third Reich? It was the Red Army.

Please, let us not allow the historical truth to be erased from our minds. Therefore, let us repeat once again: 'Long live the Slovak Republic, long live the glorious Red Army!'

Fico is the bravest and most genuine European leader out there. 🫡
