This is a confident coalition wanting to cure the frustration in Slovakia? Robert Fico can't even for a moment act as a statesman and forget the vengeance he's been harbouring for years. Peter Pellegrini tries to speak like a statesman, but it seems as if he is repeating lines from a completely different play.
