After that he should say he doesn't accept my resignation. And after that I will say that I continue under some conditions (strict EU and NATO orientation) 03:18:14 pm sounds perfect. good work 03:19:05 pm • Wait until tomorrow 03:31:05 pm I'll let you know 03:31:11 pm 2018/12/05 12:54:22 pm • EFTA01616391 OK President today told me he needed the expression of my will to continue in order to reject my resignation. I said I needed him to refuse my resignation in order to agree to continue. So in the end he accepted my proposal to "take time out" to decide about my resignation. In the meantime I'm fully functional and in some 2 weeks, when the dust settles, we will definitely close it. I think it's under control. Most importantly I didn't take it back and thus maintain my integrity. 01:18:31 pm sounds perfect 01:32:28 pm • Yes, right now the best possible solution 01:36:08 pm 2018/12/06 How is the press responding 01:29:48 pm • Negatively. Criticize mostly the President but also the whole situation. They say it takes too long, it's not serious and the country cannot depend on one person. 01:31:33 pm I think I will announce that I will continue. It has to end. 01:32:07 pm Fighting change from inside more powerful than out? Good argument 01:32:56 pm EFTA01616392  For change 01:33:23 pm • Yes 01:33:37 pm My guess is that your poll numbers will rise with all the publicity 02:04:10 pm • We will see. I will let you know. 02:04:56 pm 2018/12/07 I announced this morning that I made a decision to continue, based on: 1/ many private and public requests for me to stay, including by the President and the Prime minister; 2/ guarantees that Slovakia will stay firmly on euro-Atlantic trajectory 07:56:57 pm How was it received? 07:57:25 pm • Up until now better than I expected. Outside of the country full understanding and support. Inside mixed. Good people are happy, bad people say I lost my credibility 08:03:35 pm EFTA01616393  So not nice 08:04:31 pm • It was to be expected 08:05:17 pin I guess. , mean seems to spread. . France Germany us. . civil strife 08:06:18 pin • Terrible 08:06:37 pin France looks bad. yes? 08:14:52 pm • Very bad 08:15:13 pin Everybody is scared of Saturday 08:15:30 pin What would you do? If the govt shoots people. It will get really bad. However if they do nothing, also bad 08:16:33 pin • EFTA01616394 Macron misread his people. Went too far. Now he's backtracking and he's losing it 08:23:32 pm So what is he to do? Resign? Fight? Civil strife 08:32:16 pm Too early to say. But it will be very difficult for him to recover 08:38:20 pm But If you are the president and you get vast riots. How do you balance strength and calm 08:39:35 pm That's the million dollar question. Ideally you don't get yourself into such situation. Now he has to choose between two bad options. But he showed weakness and he won't be able to be strong anytime soon. 08:42:23 pm Unless he launches a foreign intervention. That's a good way how to unite the nation 08:43:11 pm oy 08:45:28 pm Yes 08:45:56 pm Read EFTA01616395 Im in 09:39:23 pm ./ Sent • EFTA01616396
