i wonder if EU has some way how to contain our cunt, as well as orban. because so far, they’re all talk and the most they can do is delay something until they miraculously change their mind and go with it (which is still frustrating af). anyway, i’m glad Ukrinians will get the electricity. it’s the least we can do with the current government in power.

They don’t have a choice : to do otherwise would be a violation of both Slovakian and EU law.
Electricity grids are carefully managed under EU law, with very strict rules about how everything is co-ordinated. Broadly speaking, in countries in the EU :
1. There’s an independent regulator, who sets general grid rules.
2. There’s an independent grid operator, which runs the physical grid.
3. There’s an energy market (SPX / SEPS in this case).
4. There are lots of companies (some of which can be state owned) which compete in the market as buyers and sellers
5. And there are contracts and daily auctions which are carried out under this framework and which are legally binding.
Having the President of Slovakia try to smash his way through this legal and commercial structure would instantly wind up in court… he simply doesn’t have the legal power to interfere. The EU would also immediately take action against Slovakia for breaking the EU rules.
