Mr Manka Refuses to Debate in the Media. The Slovakian Socialist MEP, Vladimir Manka, who went through lots of trouble to write critical comments in Trend about my speech in Bratislava, refuses to do a media debate with me. Of course I am disappointed and would not like to believe that Mr Manka lacks in confidence in his own arguments. Personally, I think it would be very interesting to have a debate about social model or free markets for Europe in a Europe-wide media. I hope he will change his mind, but until then I await an invitation to Slovakia.
