share fitso's views won in this country and his political power, his coalition, and we know that ivan korchokwas exactly the kind of person who supported, let's say, the sovereignty of slovakia, that is, that this country should not get closer to russia, that he should be, he is a pro-european, pro-ukrainian politician, and he owns a lot of things declared in support of our country, and it would be good if he was a kind of balancer in slovak politics and had a different opinion than that of robert fitzor, robert fitzö and his henchmen, but we see that pellegrini won , and despite the fact that he, say, let's say so, his rhetoric, his narratives were somewhat softer a few months ago, but still he is adjusting. under fitso , it is not excluded that the political forces of both fitso and pellegrini will unite, since they have quite similar ideological principles, the principles of social democracy, and thus he will most likely do everything as the prime minister says of this country, and with a high probability, this state will no longer be so friendly towards us, but... than, for example, when

first direct presidential elections in slovakia, which were held in 1999 and... for example, peter ivan korchok lost the elections there with 10,200 over one million 200 thousand votes, that's how many did not recruit, for example, zuzana chaputova when... in 2000, it seems, in the 19th year, she became president, and this was against the background , again, of such anti-corruption protests, large-scale against the background of the murder of the journalist kutsik, that is, you understand , this is something happened so phenomenal in a certain sense, and here it is necessary to really figure it out, because well, this will give us a lot to understand from the point of view of slovakia's internal future and the future in general of... this kind of civil western political spectrum, whether he can win at all, can represent slovakia and how he should do it, especially that the elections to the european parliament are coming very soon in june already, mr. dmitry, and explain then, because you are just here, well, we heard about 600,000, we remember no falsifications, no lies, maybe we really don't h

opposition power center of former and current president zuzana chaputova let me remind you that ivan korchok, an opposition candidate to the current pro-russian government , won in the first round of the presidential elections. the stage was set on fire with new songs, the dead rooster band in their native lviv presented the program "wunderwafe" in translation for the first time. in german, it means miracle weapon. musicians call it a symbol of our indomitability and retribution for russian crimes. masters of ukrainian rock and roll took the stage with both legendary hits and new works from the unfinished album of the same name wonderwaffe. with this program , the legendary band is starting a tour of ukrainian cities from the beginning of may. and the first large-scale exhibition of maria prymachenko opened in poland, the exposition in warsaw presents 89 works of the artist, which were brought to poland from lviv. our maria chornyakhivska found out how poles react to the work of the ukrainian artist and whether they are familiar with her before. on the day of the opening to the museum. of mo

listen, it was a slander campaign against candidate poligrini and robert fitz. rival candidate ivan korchok is portrayed as a warmonger who will involve slovakia in the war, which is of course not true, because the powers to send slovakian troops anywhere, belongs entirely to the government and parliament. there is a tendency towards war weariness, on the other hand also fears of the population, and this was a battle fueled largely by russian propaganda and disinformation. this type of accusation against pellegrini played a significant role in mobilizing his voters, i expect him to coordinate his future. politics, both domestic and international, with a government led by robert fitzo. it seems to me that pellegrini will be more moderate and will try to dilute the pro-russian image slovakia, which is a very unpleasant image of what we see in international relations, but in the general foreign policy, in particular, regarding aid to ukraine, i think we should not expect serious changes. it's early, but what are they saying... in brussels about how pellegrin's victory will actually affect slov

in the second round , pro-western opposition candidate ivan korchok and peter pellegrini from the rulingionalist left coalition are competing. it is his victory that can help pro-russian prime minister robert fitz to consolidate power in one hand. in case of election of korchak, who is the favorite among the bookmakers in slovakia may be a leader capable of challenging fico's decision. that in the country, presidents have limited powers, but they can veto laws or challenge them in the constitutional court. the four russians who died were not in the war with ukraine, but from the breach of the dam in the city of orsk, local media write. the water level in the city and nearby areas is constantly rising, sometimes reaching 4 m. water began to flow in the evening, the dam could not withstand the spring. afterburning and collapsed in two places. rescuers evacuated almost a thousand persons, report to the russian ministry of emergency situations. about 2,500 houses and even more homesteads are under water. electricity was turned off in flooded areas. summonses via sms, this is how they will be

former slovak foreign minister and presidential candidate ivan korchok voted in the second round of electionsin goal of korchak's 60-year-old cramp is not. allowing prime minister robert fitz and his coalition to seize all executive positions. korchok received the majority of votes in the first round. in his opinion, today the country should unite, because there is a disorder in society. i think people heard me, but the most important thing is for the country to move forward. we have a beautiful country, the slovak republic, but i think that there is a split in society. biggest challenge, and today i would like to contribute to overcoming it. we must fight for the lives of ukrainian defenders, as they fight for the lives of ukrainians. the action under this slogan took place in warsaw near the building of the polish branch of the international red cross. one of the reasons for the meeting is information about the execution of ukrainian prisoners of war in the report of the un monitoring mission. careful ukrainians and families. prisoners and missing persons came to remind everyone that the uk

ivan karchok, is a supporter of military support for ukraine. karchok scored 45.6%. votes. after the first exit polls, korchoks victory, but now, after the fiasco, he says that he is disappointed with the election results. the organization of american states urgently convenes a council to discuss the storming of the mexican embassy in ecuador. mexico city has already severed diplomatic relations with skito and is preparing an appeal to the un international court. previously ecuadorian police broke into the mexican embassy in the capital and was arrested. colombia, cuba, bolivia and brazil have already condemned ecuador's assault on the demission and expressed support for the mexican government and the president of venezuela. nicolas maduro called the attack on the embassy barbaric and a manifestation of fascism, and the country's foreign ministry compared the crime to israel's bombing of the iranian consulate in syria. let me remind you that this is not the first disregard for diplomatic law; in 2019, ecuador deprived wikileaks founder julian asandge of political asylum and in fact, he kicked him out of the t

candidate ivan korchock conceded defeat earlier and congratulated his rival, once it appeared his lead was unassailable. mr pellegrini is seen as having more pro—kremlin views compared to mr korchokmat. the role of president is seen as largely ceremonial but highly influential post — especially at a time when there are divisions over support to ukraine. here's mr korchock speaking after the results. translation: honestly, i'm disappointed, but i'm an athlete, so i can respect this result. it turns out that in slovakia you can become president by running a non—transparent campaign. the campaign can also be won by making me a war candidate. mr pellegrini, i want to tell you very clearly, i won't forget it. for more on the election i spoke to our correspondent rob cameron in prague, in the neighbouring czech republic. it looks like ivan korcok has lost to peter pellegrini, as you say, the candidate of the populist nationalist governing coalition. it seems that mr pellegrini has won 53% of the vote to mr korcok�*s 47%, which is far better, a far wider margin, than had been suggested in the opinion polls running up to this second round of the election. so that has been something of a
