Pellegrini and Korčok took part in a duel on public radio. In the previous debates they were both equally bland, boring and evasive, but this one was a real fight – and Korčok kicked Pelle where it hurt. He attacked him for everything from flying private planes, to his remarks about how he sees his role as protecting the cabinet or saying that he agrees with Harabin on many issues. He stumbled sometimes and once even told the presenter to shut up, but it was a pretty good performance. Pelle had some good moments, like when he reminded Korčok that he had no problem with being in the diplomatic service during the Mečiar regime, but he mostly came off as irritated, to the point he reacted to Korčok's criticisms with overwrought "oh my god" and "Jesus Christ". His own attacks on Korčok were centered about comparing him to Petr Pavel and Emmanuel Macron and calling him a warmonger.
It reminds me Ronald Reagan saying that he paid for this microphone during a debate in the ‘80 Republican primaries
When it comes to Pelle’s criticism of Korcok, at least Korcok, unlike Pelle, he understands that it is smart to be as strong as the bear if there is a bear in tha woods while Pelle doesn’t see the bear at all and believes it is tame while we all understand that it is vicious and dangerous because for us the bear is easy to see
