Slovaks Gave Fitzo A "hello" Before His Flight To Moscow

A giant banner appeared at the airport.

The civic initiative "Peace to Ukraine" has placed a giant banner with the inscription "Farewell, Fitzo" on the territory of Milan Rastislav Štefánik Airport in Bratislava, from which Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo will fly to Moscow.

This is reported by "European Pravda".

The 70-meter-high banner is impossible to miss. The civic initiative "Peace to Ukraine" said on Facebook that the banner "Goodbye Fitzo" is a common message of public initiatives and activists from all over Slovakia who have been persistently protesting against the course of the current Slovak government for five months in a row.

"With this symbolic gesture, we clearly state our opposition to Robert Fico's participation in the military parade of the regime that is waging war in Ukraine," said the organizers of the series of anti-government protests.

"We are ashamed of the behavior and actions of the prime minister, with whom we strongly disagree. Slovakia is not Fitzo. Slovakia is Europe!", added the civil initiative "Peace to Ukraine".

Organizers of the protests ironically said that Fitzo is now apparently very busy looking for a new air corridor to Moscow. Although Poland has expressed opposition to Fitzo's trip to Moscow in recent days, it allowed the special flight, but Estonia and then Latvia banned the special flight over its territory on Wednesday.

The Slovak prime minister called the stance a deliberate attempt to disrupt his visit to Moscow and complained that it would derail his program for Thursday. "The protocol is doing its best to find another, alternative route that will ensure that I will be able to hold four extremely important bilateral meetings on May 9," the Slovak prime minister said.
