Will Robert Fico Be the Next Orbán? with Michal Vašečka

What should we know about organized crime and corrupt rule of oligarchs in Slovakia? Should we be afraid of Slovak nationalism? And why do Slovaks dislike the West? Leszek Jazdzewski (Fundacja Liberte!) talks with Michal Vašečka, a Program Director of the Bratislava Policy Institute. Since 2012 Michal serves as a representative of Slovakia in the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) of the Council of Europe. Michal is a chairman of the Editorial Board of Denník N. He operated at the Faculty of Social Studies of Masaryk University in Brno in 2002-2017 and at the Comenius University in 2006-2009. Tune in for their talk! Michal Vašečka will be a guest of the forthcoming edition of Freedom Games, a festival of ideas held annually in Łódź, Poland. This year’s edition will be held on October 18-20 in EC1 Łódź. The European Liberal Forum is the Co-Organizer of the festival.
