Robert Fico, the Slovak Prime Minister, criticized the Dutch government coalition in a sharp video message after they threatened to revoke EU funds and voting rights for Slovakia and Hungary. He condemned the Dutch coalition's proposal to simplify the EU's Article 7 procedure, which aims to penalize member states undermining European values. Fico argued that punishing countries for their sovereign views could undermine the EU's functioning. The tensions stem from a legal dispute regarding Slovakia's constitutional amendment recognizing only two genders and prioritizing national law over EU law. Teljes cikk (Világgazdaság)
