Slovak leader Fico preparing for EU exit, opposition says

Slovak opposition says PM Fico undermining EU membership, Fico warns of protests

Summary

Slovak opposition leader Michal Simecka has accused Prime Minister Robert Fico of preparing Slovakia to leave the EU, prompting a no-confidence vote that is unlikely to succeed due to Fico's slim parliamentary majority.

Fico has criticized EU policies, halted military aid to Ukraine, and strengthened ties with Russia, including a secretive meeting with Vladimir Putin.

He has also warned of a potential EU "superstate" threatening national sovereignty.

Despite dissent within his coalition, Fico’s government is expected to survive the vote.
