Amid what is happening in the Middle East, it is easy to forget that on September 30th, an election took place that could affect the EU's political and military direction in the coming years.
In this episode, researcher Margot Cassiers takes a deep dive into the Slovak election results with Martin Hílek, the Brussels correspondent of the Slovak public broadcaster RTVS. Martin explains the victory of Robert Fico and why the general attitude in Slovakia towards neighbouring country Ukraine seems to have shifted.
Martin also talks about how Slovakia became a test case for AI generated misinformation in election campaigns, why he didn’t actually want to become a Brussels correspondent and how more positive news coverage could benefit us all.
