Július Jakab, a member of parliament for the opposition Movement for Slovakia party, stated that party leader Michal Šimečka represents an "easy target" for Prime Minister Robert Fico. The 36-year-old Jakab, who serves as deputy chairman of the party, made the comments in an interview discussing internal opposition dynamics. Jakab has worked with former Prime Minister Igor Matovič's political movement since 2011, serving in various roles including as general manager of the Ordinary People party from 2016 and head of the government office from 2020 to 2023. Movement for Slovakia operates as part of the opposition coalition against Fico's ruling government, which returned to power following elections last year.
