In the event that the participation of the Slovak Republic in the negotiations on the next month's package in Marrakech at any level - ministerial or other - would automatically sign up to the pact, no one will attend the negotiations. After the extraordinary EU summit in Brussels, Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini announced it. The prime minister wants to analyze whether participation in the negotiations in Marrakesh will commit to something.
"Slovakia has a problem with the text of the UN pact, as it is proposed today, and Slovakia does not think there is a difference between legal and illegal migration, and we consider economic migration illegal, harmful and security risk," Pellegrini said. to agree.
"If the participation of any Slovak representative should automatically sign up to the Marrakesh Protocol, no one, including the Minister, will attend the meeting in Marrakech for the SR," he added.
Pellegrini also announced that he would ask Minister of Foreign Affairs Miroslav Lajčak (nominee Smeru-SD) along with State Secretary Lukáš Parizek of the SNS for an analysis on the participation or non-participation of Slovakia in Marrakesh.
"If the legal analysis shows that it may be appropriate for one of the lower representatives of the Slovak Republic to attend this conference and clearly tell everyone what the Slovak Republic will never agree to with this convention and it will not be our commitment to become a participant as a signatory to the Pact, I see no reason why someone from Slovakia or an Ambassador from the Embassy could not go and interpret our reservations, "the prime minister explained.
He spoke about the analysis with Minister Lajčak, who considers this position to be fair in Pellegrini. The Prime Minister believes that the Lajcak government will not come. "I believe that as Prime Minister I will be able to convince the Minister to convince him that he will reunite with the decision of the government and will promote the service of the SR over his personal attitude," said Pellegrini.
He understands the attitude, but thinks that the priorities and interests of the SR must be superior to personal attitude. Pellegrini will do everything to keep the minister from the government, appreciating his qualities. According to Prime Minister Lajčák, he does not insist that he should go to Marrakech in person.
The UN Global Compact on Migration divides the political scene. Several parties are rejecting it, the CIS insists on a resolution calling on the government to oppose the pact. It also insists on the failure of Slovakia to participate in the negotiations in Marrakesh. The boyar for the resolution is threatened with resignation, saying he had presented the other, better. He is convinced that Slovakia should go to Marrakech to present its stance.
