Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that the heads of government of many EU countries were hinting to him about the possibility of joining Bratislava's lawsuit against the European Commission (EC) over the ban on Russian gas imports.
"We filed a complaint against the EC because Russian gas supplies will cease in 2027. We feel very strong overall, because many are telling us that we have a very strong argument [to succeed in court]. Many prime ministers are hinting to me that they might join [us]," Fico said in a video posted on his Facebook page (banned in Russia, owned by Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in Russia).
In April, Slovakia filed a complaint with the Court of Justice of the European Union over the ban on gas purchases from Russia. As Fico said earlier, Bratislava does not view the lawsuit as a conflict with the EU, but rather as a necessary measure to protect its economic interests. According to the Prime Minister, the EU "absolutely needs Russian gas and oil."
Slovakia's contract for Russian gas supplies expires in 2034.

Más países de la UE podrían sumarse a la demanda de Eslovaquia contra el veto al gas ruso, asegura Fico
ReplyDelete"Hemos presentado una demanda contra la Comisión Europea por el plan RePowerEU, según el cual en 2027 deben cesar las importaciones de gas ruso. Hemos presentado la demanda y nos sentimos fuertes, porque muchos nos dicen que nuestros argumentos son muy sólidos", expresó el primer ministro eslovaco, Robert Fico, en sus redes sociales.
Según explicó, Bratislava considera injustificada la decisión de poner fin a las importaciones de gas ruso para 2027 sin el consentimiento unánime de todos los países miembros.
En abril, Eslovaquia presentó una demanda ante el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea contra la prohibición de importar gas ruso.
