Pro-Russian Motorcycle Group Rides Through Slovakia as Prime Minister Visits Moscow
Share:
The motorcycle group Brat za brata (Brother for Brother) conducted a ride through Slovakia while Prime Minister Robert Fico was visiting Moscow, creating tensions at a military cemetery in Zvolen. The events brought together two contrasting worlds that protesters described as propaganda efforts. The motorcycle group's activities coincided with Fico's controversial diplomatic mission to Russia, highlighting Slovakia's deepening pro-Russian orientation under the current government. Fico leads Smer-SD, the ruling social-democratic party that has shifted Slovakia's foreign policy toward closer ties with Moscow since returning to power.
