In order to keep politics lively, most politicians might think, we should - instead of governing - make a lot of noise. Noise about how difficult, even unbearable, our position is, preventing us from ... governing.
An economically unstable country like Slovakia, having felt not only a severe whiplash from the 2009 crisis (albeit not in the banking sector), but equally being paralised by a traditionally high corruption, should need a government, which takes quick, adequate and firm measures to get the vehicle out of the mud.
But instead a government sweating over fixing the soaring deficit - after the successful looting rampage of former prime minister Fico, a totally different, even an off-topic issue is paralysing the new coalition to get things done; the double nationality issue.
A sound mind would freeze with shock over such a scenario, but indeed the question whether Slovak nationals should or should not be able to hold two passports, is perhaps the least pressing matter. No matter how annoyed anyone could be about Hungary issuing citizenships to magyars-descendents abroad, it is hardly worth it to put the country's political - and thus economical - future at stake.
The threat of a come back of crypto-communists, who managed not only to squander the state treasury but even justice as well, is more than just imaginary. Instead of playing big-egos in a kind of 3rd rated B movie, politicians, especially those who are currently responsible and accountable, should move on. And fast!
