I've been receiving nasty letters for fifty-five years. We will defeat Babiš and Fico with humor, says Vášáryová
Magda Vášáryová discusses her views on political figures in Slovakia and the importance of humor in politics.
In a recent interview, Magda Vášáryová shared her thoughts on several political figures, including her decision to no longer engage with Viktor Orbán and Jarosław Kaczyński, whom she finds unworthy of dialogue. She expresses concern over the new Russian ambassador to Slovakia, Sergej Andrejev, citing a specific fear regarding his influence. Vášáryová also emphasizes the significance of humor in politics, particularly in dealing with figures like Robert Fico, suggesting that laughter can disarm such political threats.
Vášáryová reflects on her perceptions of Petr Macinka, a political player she warns against more than Filip Turk, noting that Macinka's smaller stature masks his dangerous intellect and ambitions. Her analysis stems from her life experience, and she recalls a specific moment where a visual comparison between Turk and Macinka highlighted her views. This insight into the political landscape illustrates her critical stance on emerging political influences in Slovakia.
The interview also touches on lighter aspects of Vášáryová's past, including her humorous rivalry with Miloš Zeman, where she humorously mentions how many liters of whiskey she 'won' over him. This anecdote serves to underline her belief that maintaining a sense of humor is essential in navigating the often harsh realities of the political arena.
