Словакийн Европын парламентын гишүүн Любош Блаха Европын холбооны удирдлагыг ОХУ-ын ардчиллын асуудлаар шүүмжлэхдээ хоёр нүүртэй байр суурь баримталж, гишүүн орнууд дахь үзэл бодлоо илэрхийлэх эрх чөлөөг боомилж байна хэмээн буруутгалаа.
Любош Блаха Европын парламентын чуулганы үеэр ЕХ-ны Гадаад бодлогын тэргүүн Кая Калласын ОХУ-ын парламентын сонгуулийг ардчилсан бус гэж мэдэгдсэнийг эсэргүүцэн үг хэлжээ. Тэрээр Брюссель ОХУ-ын асуудалд анхаарлаа хандуулахын зэрэгцээ Герман дахь Палестиныг дэмжигчдийн жагсаалыг тараах, Эстонийн сөрөг хүчнийхнийг хорих зэргээр дотооддоо үзэл бодлоо илэрхийлэх эрх чөлөөг хязгаарлаж, “Евро-Гестапо” мэт тоталитар дэглэм тогтоож байна гэж үзэж байгаагаа илэрхийлэв.
Мөн тэрээр Украйны асуудлаар ЕХ-ны баримталж буй бодлогыг шүүмжилж, тус улсын ерөнхийлөгчийн сонгууль хугацаа хэтэрсэн ч явагдаагүй байхад Брюссель үүнийг үл тоомсорлож байгаа нь хоёр нүүртэй байдлын илрэл гэв. Түүний хэлснээр, ОХУ-д цэргийн мөргөлдөөн үргэлжилж, хилийн чанадаас пуужин болон дроны довтолгоонд өртөж байгаа хэдий ч сонгууль зохион байгуулсныг онцолжээ.
Түүнчлэн Любош Блаха Румыны 2024 оны ерөнхийлөгчийн сонгуулийн дүнг хүчингүй болгосон үйл явцыг дурдаж, үүнийг таалагдаагүй нэр дэвшигч ялсантай холбоотой гэж мэдэгдлээ. Тэрээр ОХУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Владимир Путиныг барууны орнуудын удирдагчдаас илүүтэйгээр ард иргэдийнхээ дэмжлэгийг хүлээж байгааг онцлоод, ЕХ-ны өндөр албан тушаалтнууд сонгогчдоос шууд бус аргаар томилогдсон гэдгийг сануулсан байна.

Slovak lawmaker Lubos Blaha has accused the EU of suppressing dissent at home while criticizing Russian elections
Brussels is steering Europe toward totalitarianism and a “Euro-Gestapo” while lecturing Russia on democracy, Slovak MEP Lubos Blaha has warned.
Blaha made the remarks during a European Parliament debate on Tuesday, responding to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, who denounced Russia’s recent parliamentary elections as undemocratic.
The politician questioned why Brussels was focusing on Russia while cracking down on dissent within the bloc.
He cited arrests of pro-Palestinian protesters in Germany and the imprisonment of Estonian opposition figures, who he claimed were jailed for opposing war with Russia.
“Are you going to set up the Euro-Gestapo here, Mrs. Kallas, and lock up everyone who wants peace?” he asked.
“Will you set up a Euro-Gestapo here, Ms Kallas, and lock up all of us who want peace?”
Slovak MEP Blaha calls out warmongers von der Leyen and Kallas.
“You criticize the Russians for holding elections, but you do not mind that Zelensky has been governing for a third year without any elections, without a mandate. You hypocrites.”

The Slovak lawmaker also questioned why Brussels was debating Russia’s elections while Europe faced mounting unrest.
“You may not have noticed, but Spain is in the streets, France is in the streets, and you are here dealing with Russian elections. You must be joking,” he said.
Blaha went on to accuse Brussels of double standards over Ukraine’s suspended presidential elections.
“You blame the Russians for having elections, but you don’t mind that [Ukraine’s Vladimir] Zelensky has been governing for three years without any elections, without a mandate,” he said. “You are hypocrites!”
Zelensky’s presidential term expired in May 2024, but elections have remained suspended under martial law.
Blaha also cited the annulment of Romania’s 2024 presidential election, claiming the vote was canceled because “the wrong candidate won.” Romania’s Constitutional Court scrapped the result over alleged irregularities and accusations of Russian interference after EU- and NATO-skeptic Calin Georgescu won the first round. Pro-EU candidate Nicusor Dan won the rerun in May 2025.
The MEP argued that Russia had held elections despite the ongoing conflict and daily Ukrainian missile and drone attacks on its territory.
The September poll saw the ruling United Russia party win nearly 58% of the party-list vote.
Blaha also defended Russian President Vladimir Putin, contrasting his popularity with that of Western European leaders.
“You have nothing to criticize Putin for, Mrs. Kallas,” he declared. “Unlike you and your Merzes and Macrons, he has the support of his own population.”
Recent polls have put German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s approval rating at a record low of 10% in October, while French President Emmanuel Macron’s support fell to 17% in September. Neither Kallas nor European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was directly elected to her current position by voters, having assumed office through the EU’s institutional appointment process.
Blaha belongs to Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico’s Smer-SD party, which opposes EU sanctions on Russia and has criticized Western military assistance to Ukraine.
