#Thread on yesterday’s regional & municipal elections in #Slovakia 🇸🇰

▪️low turn-out, much continuity (7 out of 8 regional governors re-elected)
▪️defeat of radical, pro-Russian opposition (incl Fico’s Smer overtaken by Pellegrini’s Hlas)

Amidst lots of political turmoil, no push for snap national elections. The crucial test for 🇸🇰 center-right minority govt of @eduardheger will be the vote in parliament over the 2023 state budget (expected no sooner than mid-Dec)

If you read German, very good short @SZ dispatch from SK 🇸🇰 as deeply polarised, torn country with quotes from truly yours :-)

💥Few days after #ViktorOrban visited Moscow, #Hungary upping its game over EU's sanctions vs #Russia

The sanctions list can only be rolled over by unanimous vote

Deadline for renewal: 15 Sept

#Thread on why this is not 'business as usual' 1/8

@EditaHrdaEU @SFischer_EU
2/ When EU agreed Russia oil embargo, HU used its veto to get exemptions for pipeline imports

It could point out to a) vital econ interests b) similar impact on two other CE landlocked countries

This time: HU is alone
3/ None of the three RU oligarchs that Orbán wants de-listed from EU sanctions (visa ban, asset freeze) have substantial business in #Hungary

These are big🐟for #Putin & his bussiness matters: Usmanov seen as his fixer

#Slovakia update:
▪️ Five weeks ago fmr SK PM bypassed his coalition partners ordering shipments of #SputnikV
▪️ 200k doses delivered then tested by SK Medicine Institute which finds out: Q of #vaccine not identical to those reviewed by @TheLancet 1/2

dennikn.sk/2333976/sputni…
Nat'l agency advise: wait for #EMA checks & authorization. Result = stalemate. 🇸🇰 has 200.000 doses ready to distribution, no permission to use it. Reshuffled gov't has to navigate next steps. Perhaps it will offer some to 🇦🇹 @sebastiankurz ?🤔2/2

@swheaton @dgapev @valasekt
More details: SK Institute for Drug Control says it can't conclusively asses #SputnikV for a) lack of data from the producer b) inconsistency of medical forms c) not being able to compare vaccine batches w/ various studies
