Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer) called the withdrawal of social benefits from the poorest “pleasant racism”.
“During the inspection day at the Ministry of Labour, the Prime Minister once again presented the intention to import tens of thousands of foreign workers from third countries – including Muslims from Uzbekistan. At the same time, he defended the law that takes away benefits in material need from the poorest in Slovakia,” the movement said. Pollák added that while the Prime Minister wants to import tens of thousands of Muslims from Uzbekistan, he is taking away the chance for Slovak citizens to gain a foothold in the labor market at home, including the Roma. “Instead of real solutions to support domestic employment, he has chosen the path against his own citizens – importing cheap labour from abroad,” the MP emphasized.
