Slovak domestic policy and resource management

Overview

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has addressed domestic challenges regarding climate change and political criticism. Fico emphasized the need for climate adaptation, specifically focusing on water protection and irrigation to combat droughts and heatwaves. He noted potential interest from United Arab Emirates investors in a Public-Private Partnership to modernize irrigation systems, though he clarified such cooperation is not privatization.

Fico also addressed regional water management in the Danube, seeking to balance navigability with the needs of neighboring Hungary.

In response to political opposition, Fico rejected allegations from the newspaper SME that his administration is ‘selling off Slovakia’. He dismissed claims regarding infrastructure and hospital projects as ‘primitive accusations’ and ‘nonsense’, asserting that his government is actually working to return strategic assets, such as Transpetrol and SPP, to state control.
