Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico swapped suits for skates this week, gliding through the newly opened Višňové tunnel on rollerblades to mark the completion of a 30-year infrastructure marathon. 🌟 The 7.5km tunnel – now Slovakia's longest – finally connects the D1 highway between Bratislava and Košice, promising to reroute 80% of traffic from a notoriously dangerous stretch.
🔧 Construction began in 2014 but hit roadblocks: halted contracts, budget debates, and pandemic delays pushed the finish line to 2025. Critics call it a '€1.2 billion rollercoaster,' while locals cheer safer commutes. Fico joked, "Why walk when you can roll?" – proving politics doesn't have to be all business.
