"We have to go down with the billions" about defense, for Sammy Mahdi

"We still have to go down with the billions," said Sammy Mahdi, CD&V president, questioned about the increase in the defence budget on Monday morning on Bel RTL. ...

The MEP was responding to the words made in this regard on Friday by the leader of the Direction party and Prime Minister Robert Fico.

If the increased defense spending being discussed at the level of the European Union member states could not have a dual use, the question of holding a referendum is appropriate. In the STVR discussion show O 5 minut 12, as part of the Smer party's deliberations, MEP Erik Kaliňák admitted this. He was reacting to the words that Smer leader and Prime Minister Robert Fico said in this regard on Friday.
