Slovak parties: any military agreement with the United States is a violation of the country's sovereignty

Bratislava-Sana

The head of the Samir Social Democratic Party, the former Prime Minister of the Slovak government, Robert Wizzo, affirmed his rejection of the military agreement that the Slovak government wants to sign with the United States, describing it as dangerous and a violation of his country's sovereignty and making it a target in any future war in Europe.

"The only goal of this agreement is to enable American forces to get closer to the border," Fitzu said in a television interview today, stressing that Russia does not represent a threat to his country.

He indicated that his party would seek in Parliament to approve the organization of a popular referendum on this agreement, which grants US forces unprecedented freedoms in Slovakia and shields its members from prosecution on Slovak lands, explaining that Parliament will hold an emergency session on this issue on the eighteenth of next February.

For his part, Peter Pellegrini, head of the Social Democratic Voice Party, called on President Zuzana Caputova to ask the Constitutional Court to rule on the legality of this agreement, while the Slovak Communist Party described the government's agreement to sign this agreement as a "dark day in the history of Slovakia."
