Ódor's government wants to tackle poverty, but the programme statement does not address women at all, even though the single mothers are the most vulnerable to it. Nor does it mention the LGBTI+ community, but at least it criticises the social norms that make it difficult for minorities to access civil agreements.

According to the re-elected Turkish president, Stockholm still has not done enough to keep its promises on anti-terrorism measures. Certainly do not expect positive news in Vilnius, he told the journalists.

Ódor's government does not fantasise about a bridge between East and West, nor about the four cardinal points. Apolitical nature allows it to declare that Slovakia is part of the "political West", and it plans to do so. Continuity is to be expected in both defence and diplomacy.

Western politics has become defensive and hypersensitive, which many interpret as the decline of Western civilization. Nevertheless, according to ZSOLT RÁBAI, proactivity has never been a strength of international organizations. Hence, if Europe yearns for peace, it has no choice but to become proactive. "Trying to understand Russia or China, however, cannot lead to a relativisation of our own values. The forthcoming NATO summit will therefore be a milestone," he writes.

Deepfake technologies have been used for entertainment for years. But they also represent a relatively new and difficult-to-detect digital threat. At European level, they will be regulated by the Artificial Intelligence Act, for which the member states are still preparing. In the meantime, even in Slovakia, the cases can be resolved by reporting and even through the courts.
