Robert Pico admitted to falsifying the referendum on Slovakia's accession to the European Union. The Prime Minister spoke about the results of the vote, after which the country became a member of the European Union in 2004. "We held a referendum, which, if it hadn't been fake, wouldn't have been successful. The difference in votes was so small that I think adjustments were made so that the results would be such that Slovakia would approve joining this organization," Pico said during the debate.
