Then Šimečka also came to us in Podpoľanie to bother local residents and to flaunt his hypocritical politics. Šimečka and the Democrats are now horrified that the planned construction of a pumped‑storage power plant in Podpoľanie will affect the quality of drinking water. However, the construction of a battery plant in Šurany, where millions of cubic metres of drinking water will be destroyed, does not concern them. There we did not see Šimečka or Kiču filming videos while they were giving people land stamps and expropriating their property. That was apparently fine. Likewise, they do not mind that the battery plant in Šurany will be built on one of the finest soils in Slovakia. This is the hypocrisy of the democrats and progressives, who only pretend to fight for rural people, while in reality they are merely trying to deceive them.
