Foreign investments are a blessing for Slovakia. Therefore, the statement that there is a problem with the investment policies of the Slovak government is probably surprising.

Here’s why: Even if we put in brackets the (allegedly almost 100,000) workforce shortage, it is still quite incomprehensible why Slovakia invokes the glory of a Chinese battery factory to be built in Šurany, Nitra Region. More precisely, it is not the call itself that is incomprehensible - arguments in favour of the plant certainly exist, but the fact that no questioning of it is being heard.
