The following video features remarks made by Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico to his country’s parliament. As far as I know, this represents the first time any head of a Western government has called out the corrupt predatory practices of governments in symbiosis with the pharmaceutical industry during the COVID-19 “pandemic”. He even highlights the corrupt relationship between Pfizer and Ursula von der Leyen, the current president of the European Commission. For his sake, I hope he has a food taster on his staff.
The subtitles were timed using the official English translation of Mr. Fico’s remarks. Many thanks to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:
Video transcript:
| 00:00 | Dear ladies and gentlemen of Progressive Slovakia and the opposition, | |
| 00:03 | have you seen the statistics on the rising deaths | |
| 00:07 | due to various cardiovascular causes linked to vaccinations? | |
| 00:11 | You reject this? Of course, you deny it; you claim that the vaccination was the best in the world. | |
| 00:16 | What do you know about the number of expired vaccines left unused | |
| 00:20 | and the money wasted as a result? | |
| 00:23 | What is your knowledge about the procurement of medical equipment and tests? | |
| 00:27 | Are you aware that we have established a very clear connection between a company from Trnava | |
| 00:31 | and the leader of one of the opposition parties? | |
| 00:34 | Purchases amounting to hundreds of millions, entirely unnecessary. | |
| 00:37 | What is your knowledge about management? What do you know about the consequences | |
| 00:40 | of various measures adopted, | |
| 00:43 | which, in our opinion, significantly increased the frequency of the disease | |
| 00:47 | compared to other countries? | |
| 00:50 | And all of you laughed at other states, other countries. | |
| 00:53 | You made fun of Russia, which relied on the principle | |
| 00:56 | of individual patient visits to pharmacies. | |
| 00:59 | Yet, they handled it much better than we did in Slovakia. | |
| 01:02 | We have 21,000 deaths, which we attribute to the incompetence of our governments | |
| 01:08 | since 2020. They only looked at economic gain, | |
| 01:14 | and of course, they bowed to pharmaceutical companies, | |
| 01:18 | from whom they bought a vast amount of unnecessary medical equipment and often vaccines. | |
| 01:24 | I don’t even want to talk about the European level. Do you know I was very open | |
| 01:28 | and told the President of the European Commission | |
| 01:31 | that it’s clear she’s suspected to be connected | |
| 01:34 | to the largest vaccine purchase in the history of the European Commission, | |
| 01:37 | that she exchanged secret text messages with the director of Pfizer, | |
| 01:44 | and when it was published in the European Parliament, the report was entirely redacted. | |
| 01:50 | Why were people vaccinated with various experimental vaccines? We will never understand the truth | |
| 01:53 | about the role pharmaceutical companies played and who actually organized | |
| 01:57 | this whole circus around COVID-19. | |
| 02:00 | In light of this, ladies and gentlemen, the government of the Slovak Republic has decided | |
| 02:05 | to include in the government’s announcements a commitment to address this issue. | |
| 02:10 | The Slovak public simply needs an answer. They need an answer regarding vaccination. | |
| 02:15 | What was it? Why were people vaccinated with various experimental vaccines without any testing? | |
| 02:22 | Why were people administered various medications? Why was there widespread testing? | |
| 02:26 | Who bought what? Why did they buy it? How much was bought? How much did it cost? | |
| 02:30 | We’re talking about billions. You can twist and turn it all you want | |
| 02:35 | because you know nothing except how to | |
| 02:38 | disrespect other opinions. You know, democracy means sometimes respecting other opinions. | |
| 02:42 | If we’ve been discussing the criminal code for three weeks here: | |
| 02:45 | no one insults you; we listen to you while you speak. | |
| 02:48 | We have a different opinion | |
| 02:53 | and have decided to create a government commissioner position to address these issues. | |
| 03:02 | Today, we haven’t just appointed the government commissioner but have also empowered them | |
| 03:06 | to gather information from various institutions. | |
| 03:10 | Above all, we will obtain information from the Chief Health Inspector. | |
| 03:14 | We will inquire at the National Center for Health Information. | |
| 03:18 | “…previous governments have 21,000 dead people on their conscience.” | |
| 03:23 | I believe that Dr. Kotlár, a Member of the National Council, is well-equipped in terms of information. | |
| 03:30 | Based on the information available to us, we want to know what actually happened. | |
| 03:33 | I see that he’s prepared, even when it comes to forming a team. | |
| 03:36 | I’ve asked him to discuss everything within the cabinet before making any public statements. | |
| 03:43 | And I am absolutely, I repeat, absolutely convinced | |
| 03:46 | that his work will yield results that we will publish | |
| 03:52 | and share with the Slovak public, revealing what actually happened during this COVID era. | |
| 03:56 | Today, we know one thing: Previous governments utterly failed to manage COVID, | |
| 04:00 | leaving 21,000 people to their own devices. | |
| 04:03 | And, based on everything we know, they earned a lot of money through unnecessary purchases | |
| 04:06 | of various medical supplies and vaccines. Thank you. |
I have spent 11 of the last 30 years in the Slovak Republic. I have never met a “Slovakian”. However my wife of 32 years is a Slovak scientist…The recent election turned out the worst government of Slovakia since her split from the Czech Lands in ’92. Rober Sulek’s party, SAS was part of this coalition. Sulek claims to be a classical liberal / libertarian. However his party voted for Slovakia’s draconian lockdowns and the rest of the Chinese Wuhan Plague nonsense….My bride and our dual citizen son, Catholic Libertarians, voted for the MOST far right paryt, Republic, in response. Fico has his hand in the till, but, by God, he supports Slovaks. “Slovakins” – probably not.
I’m not impressed at all. Sounds like damage control, controlled opp and window dressing wearing less-than-the-truth. Sheer trickery.
— Emphasizes the [fake] reality of “COVID disease” and the non-existent necessity to “handle” that.
— Then doubles down on this huge lie by attributing the cause of a fake number (21,000 ) of “COVID deaths” to, I quote: “incompetence”. That’s three pseudo-realities in one: the one of the fake pandemic itself, the other one is the necessity to handle that, and the third one is the incompetence (of handling nothing). A con artist.
— Misleadingly calls the biochem weapon “vaccines”.
— Calls out some of the medium-level puppets of the globalists and the institutions they have occupied — however, he fails to mention any real crime they should be accused and indicted of. So he does not even throw anyone under the bus, he’s only pretending that he would like to in the uncertain future if his fake inquiry ever leads to Wonderland.
— Usual controlled opp tactic to suggest that ‘it’s all about the money’ — when it’s not, it’s all about warfare.
— Says “the Slovak public simply needs an answer” — meaning that he seems to want to address the general public sentiment, BUT NOTHING MORE. I think this must be the real cause of the political show of this pretentious inquiry.
— He says “we want to know what actually happened”. No they don’t. He is identifying the wrong level of issues and perpetrators, asks the wrong questions — while fails to reveal the highest level of available and proven truths that have been out there for a long time (involvement of the DoD, the planned psyop and psychological warfare, the Rockefeller’s Operation Lockstep 2010, Agenda 21 and 2030, etc. etc.). If you really wanna know the truth you have to pursue it — which Fico simply isn’t doing IMO.
So this seems to be all but a huge political nothing burger to shut the awakening Slovaks up and make them fall asleep once again and even gain from their misery caused by the very warfare Fico completely ignores.
Wicked!
Of course I can be wrong because I don’t live there — Anyone from Slovakia?
i had the exact same feeling… fico is just capitalizing on tragedy by his shows, but will not change a jota. a classic politician.
It’s a strange world when I agree with communists.
When one looks at what went on behind the scenes during the opioid epidemic in the United States – how the medical “profession” and the “authorities” failed to do their jobs properly and allowed thousands of people to die, and many more lives to be ruined, all because some people running a pharmaceutical company put money at the top of their priorities, one sees that anything is possible when it comes to these organisations.
And we have to know by now that the public cannot rely on the “authorities” or anyone in the medical “profession” to look out for the interests of ordinary people.
If there is money to be made, and power to be grabbed, then it’ll happen.
That’s all our politicians know how to do. Grab power and make money in dodgy deals.
They certainly don’t have a clue about how to run a country. Or keep the peace. Or stand up to terrorists, or fanatics from the third world who are threatening to kill the citizens these “politicians” are supposed to represent. They don’t understand how to do any of these things. It’s just not part of their thinking – but accumulating power and holding on to it? That they can do. Stealing money and lying about it? Experts.
“the medical “profession” and the “authorities” failed to do their jobs properly and allowed thousands of people to die, and many more lives to be ruined, all because some people running a pharmaceutical company put money at the top of their priorities”
Not to pick too many nits, but I don’t think it’s accurate to put the blame on the pharmas.
Unless I’m misreading your point, the pharmas—FOR-PROFIT drug makers—simply executed the “emergency” program—to create and RUSH to market a C-19 “treatment”—put to them by TRUMP’s “Warp Speed” plan. Or, am I missing something?
“With much of his political base skeptical of coronavirus vaccines, Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, has tried to tread carefully when touting the success of HIS Operation Warp Speed, which developed highly effective and safe vaccines in record time.”

“Although The Party and their media drools’ve so far been able to keep a lid on it, the stats’re beginning to reveal a pattern of [myocardial and other] side-effects related to the [experimental] “messenger RNA vaccine” affecting more than the random, normal or expected percentages of the vaccinated. As the evidence mounts, I think many will come to realize that TRUMP GOT PLAYED by the medical “EXPERTS” when he exercised his power to “Warp Speed” (i.e., rush) the “vaccine” through (and past) the normal system of scientific checks and balances that test for long-term SAFETY and efficacy. For a [new] disease that’ll prove to’ve been far less serious than claimed, I reckon history’ll reveal the cure may’ve been worse than the disease, especially in its long-term and, as yet, unstudied effects.
Don’t comply, THINK.

Hi,
I was referring in that instance to what is being called the opioid epidemic, where the Sackler family, who ran Purdue, put profit above all else.
And look at the human cost of that whole disaster.
It’s not a question of drug companies not being able to make money. That’s fair enough. Companies make money, hire people and pay their salaries, etc.
The problem there arose when they put money first.
What were the priorities of the pharmaceutical companies and politicians during all the shenanigans between 20 and 22? Well, that’s the question, isn’t it . . .
I saw someone saying in the news today that the Scottish politicians were using burner phones and deleting any WhatsApp messages, so that their decision making during that period of time would remain secret, so it could never be put under scrutiny.
“The problem there arose when they put money first.”
I think you’re making the same mistake I used to make—that of thinking that making money is bad.
I wish I could locate the quote, but, when it comes to the priorities of FOR-PROFIT (note the EMPHASIS!) businesses, I think Sir James Goldsmith had it correct (I’m paraphrasing)…
The SOLE duty of a [for-profit] business is to generate profits. It is NOT to do public good; if you want to do good, donate to charity or volunteer with Habitat-for-Humanity.
“What were the priorities of the pharmaceutical companies and politicians during all the shenanigans between 20 and 22?”
Not being a mind-reader or having inside information, I can’t say with any certainty. But, based on what I do know, I believe the pharmas were eager to work with Trump to rush a treatment for C-19 to market asap…..and, because they’re in business to make a profit, to make profit from the partnership.
Now, that’s not to say that “crony capitalism”—ABUSING/CHEATING the system to make money—is good; it’s NOT. And that, I believe is what happens when the government’s in cahoots with big business (questions? see Mussolini’s definition of “fascism”).
“I think you’re making the same mistake I used to make—that of thinking that making money is bad.”
Nah, I didn’t say that and I don’t think that.
Bad things can happen though, when the people in charge of a pharmaceutical company put making money first in their thinking.
Look at the evidence – the whole opioid epidemic.
All sorts of things were going on, and people actively participated because they were making a lot of money too (the doctors at the “pill mills” for example) or looked the other way, because by and large, it was poor, working class people who were being targeted.
The systems we rely on to help keep our society running in a sane and safe manner were compromised – all because some uber-wealthy people wanted even more money. Once they put making as much money as possible first in their thinking (remembering that their firm was in the business of drugging other human beings) – trouble ensued.
So we know that the medical profession and pharmaceutical companies can go bad, and that all sorts of nasty things can happen as a consequence. We also know that it is possible for the authorities to turn a blind eye so long as it’s poor, working class people who are becoming ill or even dying.
And once you know it *can* happen . . .
“The systems we rely on to help keep our society running in a sane and safe manner were compromised”
I think your premise is exactly backwards. The system’s compromised BECAUSE we’ve permitted our society to become pathologic (and increasingly INFANTILE). I think you see the cart pulling the horse.
We’re now experiencing life under the FIRST generation of re-educated anti-American, Muslim-leaning Bolshevik two-old commie-toddlers (the SECOND generation’s just beginning to enter positions of power). And the pathology of ‘toddlerism’s now fanned-out throughout the (near) entirety of western civilization.
This Kafka novel we’re now living through shouldn’t come as a surprise to students of [objective] history. After all, as’s usually the case, we hesitate to take ACTION against that lump because we fear the treatment’s likely gonna be bloody. So we wait and wait and wait—hoping it’ll go away—until it becomes a late-stage tumor, NECESSITATING emergency treatment, the options of which’re all gruesome. And it’s not like we weren’t warned…
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” —John Adams
You are misrepresenting what was being said. [Sigh.] For the last time (since you appear to enjoy using capitals):
DURING THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC
the systems that our society relies upon to run in a safe and morally sane manner were compromised
BECAUSE THE SACKLERS PUT MAKING MONEY ABOVE ALL ELSE.
THEIR CORRUPTION BLED THROUGHOUT THEIR COMPANY AND INDEED, THROUGHOUT THE MEDICAL PROFESSION, AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF POOR, WORKING CLASS PEOPLE DIED.
THE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MAKING SURE THEIR PRODUCTS WERE SAFE
THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRUTHFUL IN THEIR SALES LITERATURE (TO DOCTORS)
If a pharmaceutical company forgets their obligations towards the rest of society – to produce safe and effective medications – and simply goes all in on making as much money as possible – IF THEY PUT MAKING MONEY FIRST, AND FORGET THEIR OTHER OBLIGATIONS, then disaster can ensue.
Here’s the point:
THAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WITH PURDUE /OXYCONTIN.
WE KNOW IT CAN HAPPEN. SO IT IS NOT UNREASONABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT OTHER PHARAMACEUTICAL COMPANIES, AND OTHER PRODUCTS.
Is that straightforward enough?
If you have trouble understanding how the love of money corrupted Purdue, and indeed the medical profession, I suggest you do some reading on the subject.
PS A word of advice. You can’t mind read. So stop yourself from trying to do that. Concentrate on reading the words in front of you.
It is clearly wrong to say that the sole purpose of a pharmaceutical company is to make as much profit as possible.
Their products must be safe. And effective.
Look what happened when the Sacklers ignored their obligations towards the rest of society.
Just google “opioid deaths”
“BECAUSE THE SACKLERS PUT MAKING MONEY ABOVE ALL ELSE.”
How do you know that?
“THE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MAKING SURE THEIR PRODUCTS WERE SAFE”
I agree, but….

“when they put the money first”. actually this is the creed of freedom and capitalism bible by milton friedman and also the foundation of the “liberal and democratic” society. and if the companies wouldnt do so, the system will let them to fail. a company at the stocks’ holders conference is expected to insure all of its investors that there is always something to gain, how do they make all these money, does not bother anyone. if there isnt anything above them, I mean, if also the government is bought up by vanaguard blackrock and so on, we literally live in the worst kind of antihuman satanic dictatorship.
“The so-called health professionals running the COVID vaccine programs around the world keep repeating that “the COVID vaccine is a normal vaccine and it is safe and effective.” In response to their pronouncement, here is a non-exhaustive and continuously growing list of mainly young athletes who had major medical issues in 2021/2022/2023 after receiving one or more COVID vaccines.” —Good Sciencing (Jan 2024)
